Knoll Section - Tamborine National Park

The Knoll Section forms one of the quieter corners of Tamborine National Park, tucked into the Eagle Heights area of Tamborine Mountain. This compact rainforest reserve protects a small but representative patch of subtropical vegetation, offering visitors a short walking track that winds through the cool, damp understory typical of the region's elevated plateau forests. The track itself is relatively easy-going, making it accessible for those after a brief rainforest immersion without the commitment of longer trails found elsewhere in the park.

Visitors often appreciate the Knoll Section for its intimate scale and peaceful atmosphere. The walking track delivers close encounters with tree ferns, vines and the layered canopy that characterises these mountain rainforests, while the smaller visitor numbers compared to neighbouring Curtis Falls or Witches Falls mean you're more likely to have the track to yourself. Regulars rate it as a solid option when time is limited or when other sections feel too busy, particularly on weekends when the mountain draws day-trippers from the coast. The birdlife can be rewarding for patient observers, with the dense forest providing habitat for species typical of southeastern Queensland's highland rainforests.
