The Scenic Rim is the name given to the rugged mountain ranges to the west and south of Brisbane, forming part of the border with New South Wales. It comprises the Main Range, Mt Barney and Mt Ballow Complex and the Lamington Plateau - much of it declared as a World Heritage Area for its natural beauty and ancient Gondwanan rainforests. In this book, Stuart Olver has captured the many moods of these mountains in stunning colour photographs, and has described the rich social and natural histories of the ranges. There are colour maps, information on accommodation and bushwalks and chapters on Aboriginal history and geology. The Scenic Rim will delight naturalists, bushwalkers and all who love the wild open spaces of Australia.
