There are many great drives in the region. One suggestion is to take a scenic drive through the beautiful Kerry Valley. Head south on the Kerry Road driving through farmland. Stop for a picnic or have a paddle or swim in the Albert River at Darlington Park. Continue on to the Lost World Valley, the wilderness end of the Lamington National Park (no through road). Turn back and then follow the Darlington Connection Road up over the Jinbroken Range (notice all the grass trees) to Christmas Creek Road and return to Beaudesert.
