Does anyone remember Highland Park?

Just wondering if anyone recalls the motorcycle park that was located at the northern end of the Gold west of Pimpama in the 70's?.
I recall it was called Highland Park, not to be confused with the residential suburb of the same name near Nerang on the Gold Coast.
I used to ride my KT there with my Dad around 1977/78?
From memory it had a flat track, a motorcross track and miles and miles of trails, plenty of good trials practice spots too.
MY recollection was that it was off a road that ran directly off the old highway, heading west at Pimpama, probably Upper Ormeau Rd?.
Just wondering if any Gold Coasters or Brisbane riders remembered it?
