G'day I'm Brett and welcome to Bunya Mountains National Park. The morning mist retreats from the Bunya mountains towards the valley below. The bird life awakens with dawn and the forest fills with numerous chatter. The bright yellow of the Regent Bowerbird is unmistakeable. Bunya Mountains National Park is a 3 to 4 hour drive North West of Brisbane. It is home to the largest stand of Bunya pine rainforest in the world and is Queensland's second oldest national park gazetted in 1908. There is a rich diversity of landscapes to explore from the hidden waterfalls of the rainforest to the open grasslands of the mountain sides. Pine Gorge lookout offers panoramic views of the North East and the Tarong coal power station. I continue along the track to the Tim Shae waterfall. The shades of green are immense. This is what it's all about the Bunya pine. At 1135 metres Mount Kiangarow's summit is the Bunya mountain's highest peak. I bid farewell to an ancient friend.
