Thetraveljunkie.org – Final week, we went to Fig Tree Stroll on Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Australia. 6.5kms south of Kenilworth on the Kenilworth/Maleny highway lies one of many jewels of the Hinterland walks. This straightforward 1.1km return wheelchair pleasant stroll explores riverine rainforest rising close to the junction of Little Yabba Creek and Mary River. This forest was as soon as intensive alongside watercourses on this space. Timber rising right here embrace the Moreton Bay fig, large stinging tree, black bean, white cedar, flooded gum, brown tulip oak and piccabeen palm.

We had stood in awe beneath magnificent, 150 year-old Moreton Bay fig bushes and seen for wildlife on this lush rainforest.

We had walked quietly and heard a woompoo pigeon, seen skinks basked within the sunshine, and glimpsed birds flitting concerning the forest’s understorey and foraging within the leaf litter.

And, wayside indicators present details about a few of the forest’s vegetation and animals. Stinging leaves – don’t contact them!
