Gold Coast Herping ??

[cougars]

Are there any roads/areas that's good for a bit of a look around for reptiles near Surfers? I'm going up there soon and want to have a go at finding some critters.

If you use the search bit up the top, there's a wealth of information. Try words like 'hinterland' 'Tamborine' 'Numinbah' etc and you'll get much of what you need.

WARNING - unless they have build a new road through the national park in the past few years that I don't know about Springbrook road does NOT connect to tallabudgra rd, they don't even get close, there is a big cliff and a national park that separate the roads. Don't beleive the map.

I went up to Mt Tamborine but it was pretty cool only 18 deg, We saw some cane toads and a few marsupials.
