Having never taken a car off-road before, Nat was blown-away by the experience. \u201cBeing able to park the Land Rover Discovery on the beach, pop down the chairs and just sit on the edge of the boot and look out at the ocean \u2013 that was pretty amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A day trip, overnight adventure or camping expedition are all well-served by the Land Rover Discovery\u2019s plenty of ample boot space and storage compartments, meaning all tents, equipment, beach toys and supplies are all easily accommodated. The journey to the island is easily accessible thanks to the regular vehicle ferry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"lux_UI lux_single_dealcard cacheid_475d7174270ac53a9e836e77ec9eab56\">\n\t\n\t<div

And with a wealth of activities to enjoy, from the scenic to the cultural, this is one day trip worth the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. The scenery is out-of-this-world<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Renowned for its stellar beaches and windswept landscape, North Stradbroke Island has some pretty spectacular sights to behold. Seasonal whale-watching can be enjoyed at scenic Point Lookout on the Gorge Walk, while the balmy waters of Cylinder Beach are as pleasant to swim in as they are to look at. On the west coast, Myora Springs is a tranquil spot for bushwalking, swimming in the freshwater spring or watching for wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"lux_UI lux_single_dealcard

A host of trendy shopfronts dot the idyllic Teneriffe River Walk, while the man-made Streets Beach is a great place to cool off on hot evenings. Culture lovers can stroll through the Gallery of Modern Art, get their live entertainment fix at the Riverstage or book a show at Brisbane Powerhouse, a repurposed tram power station turned arts centre. At River Quay, the South Bank Parklands are brought to life with classy dining, and a CityCat ferry service to the north shore will take you to the popular Eat Street market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div

More than just koalas, this sanctuary boasts a diverse population of native animals from kangaroos to rainbow lorikeets, emus to kookaburras and more. For a more manicured landscape, the Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mount Coot-tha include the mesmerising beauty of the Tropical Display Dome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it\u2019s time to load up for a drive into the great outdoors, Brisbane is the ideal base to explore the <a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/gold-coast-hinterland-road-trip\/\">nearby Glass House Mountains<\/a>. With extensive Indigenous heritage, the 13 volcanic peaks of this range make for a combination of easily rewarding hikes just an hour\u2019s drive north of Brisbane. One of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland&#8217;s most scenic spots, this spectacular area is also the perfect place to test the Land Rover Discovery\u2019s impressive air suspension, keeping your wild ride nice and smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"59\"
