“Behind the famous coastal strip lies a world that hasn't changed much in thousands of years. The Gold Coast Hinterland sits at the slopes of an enormous ancient volcano. It's plug is still visible in the distance as the steep peak of Mount Warning. The area's high elevations, substantial rainfall and fertile volcanic soil means it has the necessary ingredients for a plant cornucopia. The frivolous lushness of the hinterland is preserved in several national parks, such as Lamington National park, which is famous for it's subtropical rainforests.”
