things to do lamington national park Page 8

Lamington National Park is rainforest royalty—lush, lacy, and just damp enough to make your boots honest.

Walk the Border Track between Binna Burra and Green Mountains, or tiptoe along O’Reilly’s Tree Top Walk and pretend you’re a sugar glider with better shoes.

Chase waterfalls like Elabana and the Box Forest Circuit, spot Albert’s lyrebird and bowerbirds, then cool off in rock pools colder than your ex’s texts.

If you’re keen on views, hit Mount Wanungara lookouts at sunrise; if you’re keen on snacks, hit the bakery after—both are spiritual experiences.

Pack leech-proof optimism, a rain jacket, and start early; roads are windy, weather shifts quickly, and reception plays hide-and-seek.
