National Park·Tranquil, Wild, Untouched
Nicoll Scrub National Park is a vital protected area located approximately 88 km southeast of Brisbane. The park serves as a critical refuge for remnant rainforest vegetation that once characterized much of the surrounding South East Queensland region. Spanning the rugged landscape between Mount Coolagang and Mount Boololagung, it is an integral part of the broader McPherson Range ecosystem. By sharing a border with the Currumbin Valley Reserve, the park helps maintain an essential corridor for wildlife and native plant species. It is an ideal destination for visitors who appreciate quiet, low-impact exploration and the study of subtropical rainforest environments.
