Maiala National Park is 1140 hectares of beautiful rainforest & open wet eucalypt on the D'Aguilar Range. Its 1.9km track winds through the forest forming a very squiggly number 8 with a top track that runs off to Greenes Falls, which i am sure was once a spectacualar sight, though it runs almost dry now (due to the long drought i suspect, and its pictured at top of article).
On your trek you will see many great examples of ferns that grow in the sides of trees, fortunatly, i believe, unlike the strangler fig, these do not harm the tree.
Many palms & ground ferns, and a fantasticly arranged tangle of tree roots.
Its a good easy walk, and not too far West of Brisbane.
