Spectacular Views in and Around Gold Coast, Australia by da-AL

Best of all Lookouts, Springbrook National Park.

“Best of All Lookouts,” located on the rim of a 20 million-year-old volcano, is aptly named. Australia has more beauty than one can visit in a lifetime. Fortunately for my husband and me, our family there was generous about sharing many sights near their home in the Gold Coast.

From New Zealand’s Auckland / Rotorua / Redwoods / Huka Falls / Craters of the Moon / Waitomo Glowworms Caves / Taupo / Pirongia / Hamilton Gardens — to Australia’s Tai Chi in Gold Coast / and Birds of Australia Part 1 and Part 2, our vacation was filled with spectacular beauty.

Near Best of All Lookouts is Purling Brook Falls is this memorable tree…

with remarkable bark…

Tree bark: nature is the ultimate artist.

And this great dictionary…

Terminology sign, Springbrook National Park.

Along the drive there, we stopped to admire Hinze Dam …

To stand in the middle of its road.

And to stop and admire the view.

Further along, we took in views in and around Point Danger, where New South Wales meets Queensland…

My beautiful Cousin Hengi!

And handsome Cousin Mark.

And of course my marvelous husband!
