Adventurers and conservationists are collaborating to celebrate the regeneration of a beautiful, ancient landscape in a month-long festival.
Described as a ‘festival of a different kind’, the event will be held during March 2021 within the stunning Scenic Rim area, in south east Queensland.
From Lamington National Park to Mt Barney National Park, visitors are being invited to experience some of the most precious and spectacular areas of the World Heritage-listed Gondwana rainforests.
Following the devastating fires of summer 2019/2020, organisers intend to emphasise and celebrate the area’s environmental significance, which is UNESCO World Heritage listed.

The Isuzu Queensland Open will be contested this summer.
After a wildly successful debut at Pelican Waters this year, the 2021 event will be played from 11-14 March at the same venue as part of the ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia.
And capping a great weekend on the Sunshine Coast, the national final of “Play 9” will also feature on a busy Saturday.
Queensland state manager Luke Bates said Golf Australia was delighted to enter a multi-year deal with Pelican Waters owner Palm Lake Group, which is investing heavily in the venue’s future with clubhouse renovations, planned redevelopment of the course and a new over-50s resort to be built on site.
We believe there is huge potential to see growth in the number of visitors, Ms Wheeler said. She said the new selling point for destinations like the Whitsundays was safety. I think that is really going to be a consideration for travellers in the future, especially as destinations in the pacific start to open up, Ms Wheeler said. I think it s important that we keep getting the message out there that the Whitsundays is a safe destination; our operators, accommodations and restaurants are COVID-Safe. Tourism Whitsundays chief executive officer Tash Wheeler said Kiwis were not part of the region’s traditional tourism market, but the pandemic could change that.
