| Lamington National Park is a World Heritage listed wilderness situated in the Border Ranges of southeast
Queensland, a short distance from the Gold Coast. This vast forested region contains Australia's largest preserve of pristine sub-tropical rainforest. The dramatic landscape of radiating ridges and cliff lined valleys results from 20 million years of erosion to a huge volcanic mountain, the remnant core of which is known as Mount Warning. During climatic fluctuations and sea level changes over the millennia, the mountain has remained a refuge for the various populations of Australia's Gondwana derived flora and fauna.
A system of well formed and gently graded trails allows the visitor easy access to the majority of the parks features - ranging from palm filled valleys with waterfalls and crystal clear rivers, to mist covered tops (1100 metres) clothed in cool temperate rainforests dominated by Antarctic Beech trees. In between you can visit the spectacular eroded cliffs, enjoy wonderful vistas from prominent points or stroll through the wildflowers in shrubby heathlands. Good signage exists and carefully prepared maps and self guiding brochures are available from the Lodge. When combined with the safe environment and equitable sub-tropical climate they make Lamington National Park the most user-friendly rainforest wilderness in the world - all a mere 90 minutes drive from Brisbane International Airport!

| Activities at Binna Burra ... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Back in the 1930s, the founders of Binna Burra Mountain Lodge wanted to create a place where people could learn more about the rainforest through guided activities, discussions and
first hand encounters with the varied wildlife. That tradition is still very much a part of the Binna Burra experience. Every day, guests can take part in a full
programme: Bushwalking Lamington National Park is networked with over 160 kms of marked walking tracks. Binna Burra's resident guides are all experienced naturalists and are happy to share their in depth knowledge of the park ecosystems. |

Binna Burra Mountain Lodge is a fully accredited eco-tourism retreat that combines the peace and tranquillity of a mountain getaway with a unique opportunity to explore and learn more about the rainforest environment.
The Lodge does not pretend to be luxurious and provides accommodation for a maximum of 115 guests in rustic timber and log cabins built from
hand cut tallow wood slabs. Some of
the cabins date back to when the Lodge was first established in the early 1930s and
whilst they have all been updated with modern amenities, there are no phones, clocks, radios or television to remind you of the life you've left behind.
Because the central core of subtropical rainforest is bordered by a variety of other typical Australian vegetation types, the diversity of plants and animals is remarkable. The National Park boasts over 900 species of vascular plants and over 120 bird species.
