The Tamborine Mountain located in the southeast Queensland in Australia is an incredible tourist destination for bringing the night sky on Earth. This fact is reflected by the man-made Glow Worm Caves that radiates at night giving you the feeling of being in the sky close to the tinkling stars and Milky Way. To experience this mysterious underground adventure at the caves located at the Cedar Creek Estate Vineyard and Winery, I went along with one of my friend where the journey time was only 45 minutes starting from Brisbane and moving towards the south. The moment we reached the Estate, we came across some beautiful attractions - a restaurant, the Cellar Door, Wild Duck Lake, and Prime Ministers Way.

At first, we had real good conversation but after an hour, I started feeling sleepy but she didn’t and kept talking about everything. I couldn’t even say ‘for god sake, let me sleep woman’ because that would be impolite by my side, so I stayed awake, listening half things, dozing off for few minutes in between.
