Koala Track

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This track runs through open eucalypt forest, forming part of a protected koala habitat. The trail is mostly flat with a dirt surface underfoot and sections of shade from the surrounding gum trees. Koalas are known to inhabit this area, often high in the canopy, so it’s worth scanning the trees as you walk.

Coombabah Lake

Highlight • Lake

This shallow lake sits within a wetland system of mangroves, reeds, and open water, creating a habitat for birdlife including pelicans, egrets, and jabirus. The water is often calm, with wide, open views across the lake and surrounding vegetation. Conditions shift with the tides, as the system is connected to the Broadwater, bringing a mix of salt and freshwater into the area.

Coombabah Lakelands Conservation Area

Highlight • Natural

This protected reserve combines wetlands, open grassland, and eucalypt forest, supporting a wide range of wildlife. It’s one of the most reliable places on the Gold Coast to see kangaroos in open areas, along with birdlife across the wetlands and koalas in the forested sections. Tracks move between these different environments, with a mix of shaded bushland and more exposed, open terrain.
