There are a lot of things to see in the country side between Brisbane and Byron Bay: Mount Warning, a mountain high above the plain providing a great view from its summit, the Springbrook National Park, with waterfalls, rainforest and glowworms… and a fabulous night sky.

🇫🇷 La campagne entre Brisbane et Byron Bay est riche en sites magnifiques : le Mont Warning qui surplombe la plaine et offre une superbe vue, le Parc National de Springbrook et ses cascades, sa forêt tropicale et ses vers luisants… sans oublier un ciel nocturne exceptionnel !
