Lush rainforests, ancient trees, spectacular views, extensive walking tracks, exceptional ecological importance and natural beauty feature in Lamington National Park.

Delve into the heartland of this ancient landscape on this full-day hike between the Green Mountains and Binna Burra, along the Border track. Boasting stunning scenery and spectacular views, the Border track is roughly 21km, graded difficult, and is the backbone of the national park and part of the longer Gold Coast Hinterland Great Walk.

Take 7 hours and walk the full length of the track, or spin off onto the network of other walks and circuits. You’ll feel miles from anywhere as you hike through subtropical and temperate rainforests, into lush gullies and valleys, over crystal mountain streams, past stunning waterfalls, and along prominent ridge lines.

This park is part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area, famed for its ongoing geological processes, evolutionary history, and diversity (especially of rare, threatened and endemic species).

This walk is managed by the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service. The map only shows an indicative start point; the track route and end point are not shown, and the map cannot be used for navigation purposes. See www.des.qld.gov.au for detailed maps and the latest park information. When you are in the park, read the signs at and near the start of the track.
