Brad Close

After a career flying for the Air Force and exploring the world Brad now loves showing people around South East QLD. When he isn’t at work with his wife on their property on the outskirts of Brisbane. It is animals, flowers, trees and guests who they love to teach all sorts of skills.

Brad is active and energetic, loves Mountain Bike riding and trail running but is equally happy taking guests on a longer hike or sitting at a riverside cafe. He also enjoys learning about where people come from while showing them around Brisbane and SEQLD, with a bit of humour thrown in wherever possible.

Helping you find something you didn’t expect is one of the things that brings Brad joy. A laneway bar or cafe, a patch of rainforest with a waterfall a cool snack in the shade during a hike or even an unexpected encounter with Australia’s unique wildlife. He really wants to make the most of his guest’s time and leave them with lasting memories of the beauty of the region.

Brad’s favourite places in Queensland: Springbrook National Park, I love sharing this very special area with visitors.

Brad’s favourite places outside Queensland: The mountain scenery around Queenstown NZ or the mountains in the Pacific Northwest of the USA.
