If you are heading toward Queensland’s Sunshine Coast this summer, you may want to get hold of a copy of this little book. It’s a passport to the cool and beautiful forest of the Conondales, the largest patch of subtropical rainforest and associated eucalyptus forest remaining in the hinterland. The Conondale Range National Park is the result of a 25 year-long campaign by the book’s authors, the Conondale Range Committee, to preserve what they describe as a botanical and biological wonderland. By this they mean not just the forest itself, but also the plants, birds, and animals that depend on this ecosystem for survival.
