 SMALL GROUP GUIDED WALK - LAMINGTON NATIONAL PARK, Southern QLD

From accommodation to accommodation - O'Reilly's to Binna Burra
Scroll down to detailed itinerary and prices...
Explore Lamington National Park with a professional guide.  The park is less than two hours drive south of Brisbane and peaks here reach over 1100m, the steep untracked southern escarpment forming 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 - O'Reilly's Guest House and Binna Burra Lodge
