Little Bee's Secret Garden

Little Bee's Secret Garden is a native bee demonstration garden that offers practical and hands-on education on Australian native bees, highlighting the urgency to be conscious of the environment, while promoting the value of our native bees.

Reviewed By janepT5717HZ - Hervey Bay, Australia

A beautiful little space tucked away in the heart of Canungra township. Owning our own native bee hive we were very eager to visit Little Bee's Secret Garden. Although we have a bee hive we know very little about native bees and Alex was happy to chat and answer all of our questions. Her knowledge is amazing. We also purchased a very informative book. Bees are essential for our survival and ensuring our food source and it is wonderful to meet someone that is so passionate about native bees and so willing to share her knowledge.

Tamborine Mountain Glow Worm Caves

Welcome to the Tamborine Mountain Glow Worm Tours! During our tours you will experience the results of our ground-breaking conservation project, as we guide you through our spectacular purpose-built cave, filled with thousands of glowing Glow Worms! We offer the only opportunity in Queensland to see Glow Worms during the day, and over the course of 30 minutes, you’ll meet a Glow Worm up close and learn all about their life cycle and behaviour. Our cave features a colony of native Mt. Tamborine Glow Worms, and is part of a long-term breeding program, so your admission helps support and ensure the survival of the species in South East Queensland for future generations!

Reviewed By Adelie2015 - Blue Mountains, Australia

A heart-warming story in these times of species extinction and habitat loss due to land-clearing and global warming. At the Tamborine Mountain Glow Worm Caves, you can see glow worms up close while hearing all about their life cycle from an expert. It is very easy to access (no rough bush tracks or steps) on a good boardwalk through a small section of rainforest. Once inside the cave, there is a short video to help accustom eyes to the darkness then a short, flat walk into the inner cave to see the glow worms. After visiting the glow worm cave, be sure to check out the adjoining Frog Hollow which gives you the opportunity to see different species of frogs. A few steps here, but nothing onerous. Definitely a great educational experience and a wonderful opportunity to see a species that is declining in the wild.
