 Day
4: Full day Lamington Traverse today. Walk across the rainforest plateau on the Border Track to Binna Burra Lodge - at 22km it’s a long way but the route is almost flat and the going is easy. The track emerges from the subtropical rainforest at several panoramic escarpment lookouts along the way. Accommodation: Binna Burra Lodge Day 5: A couple of half day walks at Binna Burra. The first descends through the forest to Gwongoorool Pool on the pretty Coomera River. Next is a circuit visiting Kweebani Cave, passing excellent examples of giant red cedar. There’s a good chance of spotting koalas today in the drier eucalypt forest here. Accommodation: Binna Burra Lodge Day 6: After breakfast, travel by coach then train back to Brisbane where the itinerary ends. |

The
wonderful World Heritage rainforests of
Lamington National Park are less than two hours drive south of Brisbane. Peaks here reach over 1100m
and the steep untracked southern escarpment forms a natural border with
the state of NSW. Massive strangler figs, ancient Antarctic beech, red
cedar, rosewood and booyongs tower overhead whilst hundreds of different
species of vines, ferns and orchids shelter beneath. More than 160
species of subtropical birds will keep any bird lover engrossed. With
so much abundant native wildlife, this park offers a wealth of
experiences. Climb the huge strangler fig tower, marvel at the upper
levels of the forest on the Tree Top Walk and visit secluded Moran
Falls. The highlight will be the walk right across the plateau along the
scenic Lamington Traverse. And in the evenings you will be pampered at two of Australia's most
famous eco retreats -
