Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We did Holmans Break and it was awesome. Very challenging 15km, four hour journey which was a fantastic workout! Be prepared for a large and hard hike if you're doing this one!

Tucked away in the Mt Mee section of D’aguilar National Park is the rock pools surrounded by bushland called Rocky Hole. It’s a great place to swim and for thrill seekers to jump off the rocks into the water. It is easy to get to for kids and adults alike. No hiking shoes necessary. The rock pools have deep areas (best for jumping, but make sure to test the depth first) and also has really shallow areas for mum’s and bubs, or those who just wish to sit in the water.
It is located roughly 8km from The Gantry which is a well-known picnic spot in the area. The road is unsealed so best take a ute of 4wd but most cars should be able to get to the location. The drive to get there is well signed so don’t sweat it if you run out of GPS signal. To make the most of this location, bring your togs, sunscreen and a picnic lunch and immerse yourself in natures swimming pool – best of all it’s a free day out! :)

This national park has not only an easy driving road through it but a number of good lookouts, rest areas and walks if you want to try something a little more challenging. Stop by the park station on the way in an pick up the latest news on walks and activities.

This area is well out of Brisbane so plan ahead. There are two approaches. Normal car to the car park at the Gantry and then good walking boots and outdoor gear and go walking in the bush.
The second approach is a good four wheel drive vechicle and go around the various tracks, which makes for some interesting driving.
Either way, you are in some of the best rain forest in southern Queensland, with nature all around you.
A break in Daybro for a coffee and a stretch of the largest is also a good idea.

This is a great day trip from Brisbane and it's only 45 minutes from the city. Make sure you have a full tank of fuel and a picnic lunch and you are set. When you are out there you will feel along way from anywhere, but you are still close to the city.
There are a few really amazing lookouts and lots of picnic stops along the way. Camp Mountain, Jollys and Westridge lookouts where my fav's! Also there are two lookouts at Camp Mountain lookout. You need to go up the stairs and past the BBQ area for the better lookout!
Along the way you will find every 5-10 minutes picnic areas with bathrooms and tables. Camp Mountain Lookout and Bellbird Grove picnic area are the best I think!
There are many short hikes just off the road to. Most of them are 1-2 km's and are at picnic grounds.
As you head out to Mt Glorious and you don't have lunch with you, take the short detour to the town of Samford. It's a small town only 30 minutes from Brisbane and it has some great Coffee shops and places to eat. The Flying Nun and Samford Pub are my picks!

Took the road from Brisbane through the national park. Plenty of places to stop with lookouts. Scenery spectacular - could see the coast and the Glass Mountains. Picnicked at Bellbird Grove (side road 2 KM) As I visited mid week had the place to myself, Although did have my sandwich taken out of my hand by a kookaburra. Stopper to do one of the well signed walks. Continued through the reserve and took the long loop back to Brisbane via Mount Glorious Village, Wivenhoe Lake, Ipswich and then motorway. (NB This involves a toll on part of the motorway) A great day out away from city life.

A great park for families to have a picnic, play in the water and go for a walk. All so close to Brisbane

Some nice areas to visit in the park but most of the spots have average to poor facilities for park this close to Brisbane. Maiala was our favourite but walking tracks and picnic area old and need an upgrade

A lot of things in Australia requires permits, you are only allowed to camp at the designated areas and you are only allowed to fish in the designated areas. My suggestion is get in touch with the official camp site in the area and ask about fishing.
