Publishers Description: Those who live in Brisbane, on the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and the hinterland are indeed fortunate in having wilderness almost on their doorstep. Only a short drive from these centres are the rich green forests of Lamington National Park, the rocky peaks of Mount Barney, and the myriad summits and gorges of the Great Dividing Range. To the north stretch the coloured sands of Cooloola, while a short boat trip allows one to explore the golden sand hills of Moreton Island. The colour photography of this book represents some impressions of wilderness which are characteristic of the landscape and moods of the wild regions of south-east Queensland.The lure of wild places is a powerful sensation which compels the visitor to return time and time again. The wilderness of south-east Queensland boasts scenery equal to that of any part of Australia, and is epitomized by the deep greens of the rainforest and the golden hues of sunshine and sand.
