CANUNGRA VALLEY OF THE OWLS

CANUNGRA

"Valley of the Owls"

Situated in the Gold Coast Hinterland, 35km west of the Gold Coast and 90km south of Brisbane, Canungra is a historic township providing the gateway to the Beaudesert Shire encompassing Tamborine Mountain, Beechmont, World Heritage Lamington National Park & the Scenic Rim.

Canungra owes its existence to the timber industry and once boasted one of one of the largest stands of timber in the colony. Following this era came beef cattle & dairying.

Today Canungra boosts a population of 1000 people and extends 'good old fashioned' country hospitality to its many visitors through its eateries, wineries, accommodation & shops. The historic LAHEY'S TRAMWAY TUNNEL is the only existence of the past sawmilling activities in the area.

Canungra is regarded as the springboard to the World Heritage Lamington National Park - O'Reilly's & Binna Burra resorts. It's a great place to stay and explore the surrounding district.

The township is also a meeting place for Hang-Gliders, Paragliders, Birdwatchers & Bushwalkers who visit the area annually to take advantage of what the Canungra Valley has to offer. The vast variety of native Flora & Fauna, coupled with friendly good old country hospitality make a visit to Canungra something to remember for a long time.

We look forward to meeting you……...
