Coombabah Lakelands Conservation Area protects over 1000 hectares of one of the last remnants of lowland coastal habitat on the Gold Coast. It is part of the southern section of Moreton Bay Marine Park, and its international significance has been recognised by the United Nations, through designation as a Ramsar protected wetland. In addition to its diversity of bird and plant life, it is arguably the best place to view Koalas and Kangaroos in the region.
