Kooralbyn Resort:
(Nested in the Gold Coast hinterland, Kooralbyn boasts rolling landscape, fresh waters and bountiful fauna and flora, first enjoyed by Aboriginal tribes more than 40,000 years ago. First European settlement in the area can be traced back to the 1830's when southern timber millers sought the quality hardwoods of the lower valleys. It was not until Australia's first major land booms in the 1840's that free settler pastoralists migrated to the region. Kooralbyn subsequently became one of the region's most significant pastoral estates, the land used largely for cattle grazing.)
