What are your favourite places to travel around the Brisbane area?

Within 4 hours of Brisbane there is so much to see and do and so much on offer, so where are your favorite places to go?

Roma - there's far less traffic!

We like Girraween National Park - if only for the hot showers, picnic tables, number of rangers in attendance in the camping area - which is 1000% better than anywhere else in Qld. But gee. it's cold in winter!
The Yellow-Tufted Honeyeater (birdlife.org.au/bird-profile/yellow-tufted-honeyeater) is quite common there.

 Hi, Queen Mary Falls is high on my list.

Kenilworth via Maleny is good day out.

Samford, Daybora, Mtn Mee or The Gap  Mtn Glorious over to Wivenhoe Dam or around to Somerset Dam.

Lamington NP, O'reillys Guesthouse for lunch.

Beaudesert and the Senic Rim. Lots to see and do.

Well yesterday with nothing better to do set of from Marburg to explore to the south sort of.

Primary goal was to have lunch at the Rosevale Hotel, 24 years since we were there last but it is closed, almost a ruin from it's former glory.  Bummer it had so much history.

Harrisville Hotel was the next choice and did not fail to impress, we are going to hook up the caravan and stay over there during the week sometime in the future. 

Rosewood was a inviting village with a lot going for it, train station, retirement villages,  basic shops with showground camping.

Tallegalla which we had never head of before was a terrific find seating on a ridge with awesome views of the Border Rangers to the south and the Great Devide to the north not that far from Marburg.

Scott, great photo's but the one of the water at Cootharaba reminds me of emptying the cassette - certainly not what I would camp at - I don't mind muddy or dirty water but the colour of that water is worrying.

I am a waterman. Plenty of coastline and islands within 4 hours of Brissie, north and south.

 thanks, the water is actually really nice, its that colour for a few reasons, water flow from the creeks & rivers, trees that live in and around the water, the plantlife underwater etc as well, its an epic place to go really and up at Habitat it is really quiet, the last 2 km of the road is dirt but its really well looked after so there is all wheel drive access up there
