At 6.45am every morning, an O'Reilly's staff member scatters seed near the trailhead and the Regent bowerbirds arrive on cue. That sets the tone for Lamington. Part of the Gondwana Rainforests World Heritage Area, this is old-growth subtropical rainforest with over 160 kilometres of walking tracks ranging from a gentle 1km loop to the multi-day Border Track connecting Green Mountains to Binna Burra. The treetop walk sits 20 metres up; the enclosed ladder pushes you to 30. Albert's lyrebirds show up most mornings near the Border Track entrance. Pretty-faced wallabies line the road on the drive in if you take it slow. Wear actual walking shoes for the waterfall trails, the downhill sections earn them. Worth the two hours from Brisbane, and worth staying the night.

Lamington National Park (started at O’Reilly’s) is incredibly serene, beautiful & quiet. You can go for short walks (1-2 klms), longer walks (5-12 klms) or longer walks (20+ klms). The scenery & rainforest is untouched & lovely. There is plenty of local birds & animals to watch & see. A skywalk is around 20 mtrs above ground & there is an enclosed ladder to climb to the tree tops (30 mtrs above ground). These views are spectacular. I recommend wearing good walking shoes or runners due to the downhill climb to a waterfall & fresh water swimming hole.

Worth the drive! Amazing rainforest hike with multiple trail options. We caught a beautiful sunset near O’Reilly’s Mountain Cafe after finishing the Border Track. Wish we had time for the Wishing Tree Track and Tree Top Walk—next time!

One of the most beautiful national parks in Australia and a bucketlist destination for any hiker and nuture lover. It is well worth the drive out to the park for a day trip or you can stay for the weekend or weekdays at the accommodation. They have a retreat, cabins and a camping area, I recommend booking in advance. There's do much to see within a short distance such as the tree top walk, the gardens, visitors and information centre, wildlife and birds that frequent local grounds and the endless hiking trails. There are some novice grade paved hiking trails for people to explorer the local sights and there are extensive medium and difficult grade trails all over the mountain and national park that require good fitness and stamina. I recommend you use a good navigation app such as Alltrails which is available on Google and Apple to plan your hikes and for navigation (see my photos)

Springbrook National Park
Springbrook
A waterfall drops through a collapsed cave ceiling at the Natural Bridge, and at dusk the glow-worms take over. Purling Brook Falls, Twin Falls, and sweeping coastal lookouts fill out a day on the plateau. The mountain air alone is worth the drive up.
Hinze Dam
Advancetown
A flat, paved crossing of the dam wall with Advancetown Lake on one side and green hinterland valley on the other. Stop at View Cafe before heading into Springbrook, or hit the Peter Hallinan Mountain Bike Precinct. Come early in summer. The sun on that wall is no joke.
