Lamington National Park
Lamington National Park Review
Lamington National Park is a subtropical-temperate ecological border zone sheltering abundant plant and animal life. Its 50,600-acre expanse comprises two sections: Binna Burra and Green Mountains. Lamington National Park is listed as a World Heritage Area, which protects its varied rain forest, including Antarctic beech trees dating back 3,000 years. Lamington has 160 km (100 mi) of bushwalking tracks ranging from 1.2 km (3/4 mi) to 54 km (34 mi), as well as waterfalls, mountain pools, exceptional views, and some 120 native bird species. The Gold Coast Hinterland Great Walk begins at the Green Mountains campsite. All park camping areas require nightly permits (A$5.15), obtained in advance.
