About the Region
The Scenic Rim region is a thriving rural paradise set in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range and surrounded by World Heritage-listed national parks. Home to a population of more than 40,000, the region is located on the doorstep of Brisbane and the Gold Coast and is an easy drive from both.
Known for its breathtaking scenery, the Scenic Rim is a popular tourist destination offering visitors plenty to see and do. From its myriad of wineries and art galleries to expansive bushwalking tracks, state of the art equine facilities, agriculture, growing rural communities and friendly country charm, the Scenic Rim region is a must-see destination. It contains more than 30,000 hectares of parkland, including national parks and council controlled parks, and three recreational dams. Everywhere you turn in the Scenic Rim you'll see mountains. This imposing Rim of mountains dates back millions of years to a time when many were active volcanoes. Their legacy - Australia's most accessible World Heritage listed rainforests and rich alluvial soil - remain the region's lifeblood.
