Lamington National Park

Lamington National Park is just a short distance from the bustling Gold Coast, set within the Gold Coast Hinterland. It is the largest preserved subtropical rainforest in Australia and features spectacular scenery as well as a wide range of bird species.

Popular places to visit around the Lamington National Park include Binna Burra and Green Mountains, which you can get to from Canungra. Around this section, there are a number of unique walking trails. Binna Burra, hosts a 'sense trail' and is also home to the Binna Burra Mountain Lodge. There are various events at the lodge throughout the year which are popular. Green Mountains offers a tree top trail which has great views across the surrounding landscape. There is also a slightly longer 24km walk which links the two places, if you would prefer.

There are also plenty of other walking tracks throughout the Lamington National Park ranging from easy walking tracks to more difficult tracks. The walking tracks pass some beautiful waterfalls as well as some famous features including Aboriginal Cooking Caves, Coomera Gorge, Echo Point, Mount Merino and Picnic Rock.
