All year round, you will see members of the Canungra Hang Gliding Club flying from Mt Tamborine and Beechmont in Hang Gliders or Paragliders.; These sites are suitable for beginner pilots soaring the ridge lift a couple of hundred feet above the hill, to advanced pilots who will climb to 10,000 feet in thermals and fly cross country as far as Dalby, Warwick, or Kyogle.; If you want to experience the joy of flight and soar with the eagles, join us in Canungra, and we will show you how.; The only requirements are that you are older than 15 (no upper limit), and able to run a few paces for launching.
The Canungra Hang Gliding Club also pioneered the world wide use of GPS verification. For more information on this revolutionary method, visit our GPS page.
