Tamborine Mountain is in the Gold Coast hinterland. And it's often referred to as the Green Behind the Gold. There are so many great rain forest walks you can do there, so I thought I'd check out Curtis Falls.

Mmm, nice and fresh-- it'd be nice to have a swim in right now.

We're at Curtis Falls. Now, is that beautiful or what?
