Lendlease Family day out in Elliot Springs The Elliot Springs community boasts stunning views and a convenient lifestyle full of adventure, it’s the perfect place for a family day out. Early Morning Hike at Bindal Ridge Literally on our doorstep is Bindal Ridge (a 234 ha conservation zone), which features the Moongun walking trail. Moongun, which means ‘quoll’ in the native Bindal language, is a Class 3 dedicated walking trail, 4.2km return which takes about an hour round trip (at a general walking pace) to complete, with some steeper climb sections. There are plenty of rest stops along the way and once you get to the top, you’re greeted with 360 o views, taking in the coastline of Magnetic Island and Cape Cleveland. For residents, access the track from Wadda Mooli Park. Alternatively, if you’re visiting the area, parking is available at Wadda Mooli Park. Lunch at The Hub The Hub by Essentially Fresh is the perfect spot for a post walk caffeine pit stop, and you could even stay for lunch! Who doesn’t love a cheeky homemade sausage roll, or yummy sweet treat. The Hub is a great place to meet, eat and relax. And when the kids start getting itchy feet again, there is plenty of space for them to run around while you sit back and relax.
