Lamington National Park (20,200 ha) Home of the largest preserved sub-tropical rainforest in Australia, this World Heritage declared park covers over 20,000 hectares, and features many natural wonders with its breathtaking views into deep valleys and cascading waterfalls over sheer mountain cliffs. There are 170 species of rainforest plants and 38 varieties of animals, many found only in this part of Australia. For the keen bushwalker, there is over 160 kilometres of graded walking tracks (trails), with easy access to many places of interest. Subtropical rainforest, magnificent views, waterfalls and colourful wildlife make this park one of the most popular in southern Queensland for day visits and camping. Extensive walking track systems lead to many points of interest. Private lodges and kiosks are located at Green Mountains (O'Rielly's Guesthouse) and Binna Burra. Green Mountains has a picnic area where you can meet the wildlife if you are patient. Binna Burra is located in the east of Lamington. Walking tracks weave through a diverse range of open forest and rainforest. Picnic facilities afford spectacular views of the coast and hinterland. |
