Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve
Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve comprises 55 hectares of sub-tropical rainforest overlooking the Glass House Mountains National Landscape. A remnant of the rainforests that once covered the Blackall Range, the Reserve is a living museum of diverse plant and animal life and a place of tranquility and beauty
The Butterfly Deck in the reserve is popular for wedding ceremonies. The endangered Coxen’s fig parrot and rare grey goshawk have been reported in the reserve and a small colony of red-necked pademelons can often be seen on the lawn areas adjoining the picnic area and playground. This ecosystem is protected for the conservation of biodiversity and provision of nature-based recreation activities.
