We enjoyed our visit to Bellthorpe Rain forest and were happy to see a Regent Bowerbird. Lunch at the Mary Cairn Cross Restaurant was very nice. We also enjoyed the rainforest tour that we did at Mary Cairn Cross and getting a chance to have a lovely view of the Glass Mountains. Anita picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel and we were able to do things at our own pace, as this was a private tour.
