DISCOVER: THE TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN ECO CENTRE AND RAINFOREST SKYWALK at Tamborine Mountain, Queensland, Australia.
A new eco-adventure exploring the beautiful rainforest canopies and habitat in a different and thrilling way.

The walkway is a stable, high-tech steel structure enabling visitors to explore these canopies in a safe and secure way. It descends gradually to the lower canopy and follows points of interest including rockpools and waterfalls, a butterfly lookout, local history enclosure and sheltered rest areas along the way until reaching the amazing Skywalk. This is a 40 metre long cantilever soaring 30 metres above the valley, with spectacular views over the creek and the rainforest canopies below. Finally the walk returns along the rainforest floor to the Centre.
The tour takes approximately 45 minutes and is suitable for all ages.

Set amongst the tropical Rainforest of Tamborine Mountain lies the Witches Chase Cheese Co. Happy Jersey cows produce our regions finest milk, from which we handcraft a specialty range of award winning premium cheeses including fresh, soft, blue and hard varieties.  We use traditional methods without preservatives and with vegetarian rennet.

Witches Chase Cheese Company began in 2004 when Meredith and Andrei Morris bought the (now old) factory in Beacon Rd. They had a deep desire to produce handmade cheeses to go along with their passion for drinking good wines!

With a modification to the cheese factory and Andre’s cheese training and certification from Gilbert Chandler University in Melbourne, the little factory started to produce cheese in October 2004.  With help from our instructor Neil Willman, we opened our doors in November.

Our distinct tree logo and swing came from a line of Liquid Amber trees that adorned the driveway of Beacon Rd with a swing we put up for our daughter Sienna.  We chose Witches Chase Cheese Company as our name as the Witches Falls National Park was the first National Park in Queensland and the road that leads into it is called Witches Chase, which until December 2008 we were situated near.

In late 2008 the new factory at the southern end of Gallery walk opened (a five minute drive from the old location). The relocation and expansion enabled Andre and Meredith to add a few more of their favourite indulgences under the one roof. This time the Cheese Shop and Factory have been paired up with the brand new MT Brewery and a five star Bistro & Grill called Liquid Amber.

With a brand new location and the same award winning cheese the future looks bright for Witches Chase Cheese Co. and we look forward to writing the next paragraph.

Lush rainforests, ancient trees, spectacular views, extensive walking tracks, exceptional ecological importance and natural beauty make this World Heritage-listed park an outstanding place to visit.
