Did you know there was a subtropical rainforest less than 2 hours away from Brisbane? Yeah, you…read moreprobably did. Well you should go there anyway. It's easily accessible by car and lots of fun. I went to the Green Mountains section, because the walking trails are shorter and there's a waterfall. The Binna Burra section has some more challenging tracks. First off, if you're driving to Green Mountains from Brisbane, make sure not to miss the turn off for Lamington National Park Road, in Canungra. It's poorly marked, and if you miss it, you'll end up halfway to Gold Coast before you realize your mistake. If you pass through the town of Canungra without turning right, then you've missed the turn. Then, once you approach the park, the road is narrow and windy and mostly uphill for about 30 minutes, but it doesn't look like it on the map. Just hang in there, keep driving, you're almost there. And watch out for oncoming traffic. The road ends at the second car park, which is pretty big and should accommodate all cars even on a nice summer day. You'll see O'Reilly's gift shop up the hill on the right and the park's info centre on the left. At the gift shop you can buy bird seed, and then if you go up the path about 10 meters you can feed wild rosellas and king parrots. If you're holding the food, they will land on you to eat it, so be prepared. If you walk up another 20 meters past the bird feeding, the entrance to the tree top walk is on the left. I highly recommend it. It's a wooden foot bridge that literally takes you around the tree tops, about 20 meters off the ground. The view is stunning. There's a ladder that will take you up even higher, but there might be a long queue to get up there. Next to the tree top walk is the botanic garden, but if you're there at the wrong time of year, there are no flowers and it's kind of boring. That's when I was there. I'm sure it's nicer in the spring. There are hiking trails all over the park, as well as camping, so download a map from the website and prepare in advance. We did the Moran Falls track (4.4 km, about 1.5 hours) and the Python Rock track (3.1 km, about 1 hour). Both of these were very easy (kids would have no problem, for example, although probably not good for elderly or disabled people). Moran Falls has, yes, that's right, a waterfall, which is spectacular, and a lookout with amazing views. Python Rock has even better lookout, and you can see the same waterfall. To get to these trails, you have to walk about 10 minutes back up the road, past the first car park. There's a sign on the left for the walking trails. Some of the harder trails and the camping areas start up near the tree top walk. In general, the park is clean and well maintained. There are lots of birds and lizards everywhere, as well as butterflies. It's a rainforest, so even when it's a hot day in Brisbane it will be no more than 25 on the hiking trails - bring a jumper or a rain jacket. There are no rubbish bins anywhere so be prepared to carry your garbage home with you.

There's lots of different hikes you can take around here, from a minimum of 3 KM to a Mac of 21 KM…read more I'm sure you could even find a 1 Km hike, but if you came all the way out here, you'd want to see more than that. You walk through lots of different types of vegetation and can see wild wallabies and pademelons jumping through if you look carefully enough. It's also a birdwatchers paradise, keep your eyes out for cool cockatoos. We saw a lovely waterfall and a view from the top of surprise rock. There's some cliffs on the walk we did, but one hike has aboriginal cave art walk for about 5 Km for history buffs. It can get chilly and can heat up quickly so bring lots of water and a raincoat. Also, only bathroom is at binna burra, so use it before you go on the hike. After you get back, don't forget to get a scone from the cafe at binna burra. Best scone my friends and I have ever had, super fluffy and tasty.

Curtis Falls is located on Tamborine Mountain near the Gold Coast. The hike is well marked and…read morepretty easy. There are no steep inclines, the path is wide and well manicured, and it wasn't crowded on the day we went. It was a bit chilly since it was at a higher elevation and in June. It's about 0.5km from the trail head and there is a sign that points you in the right direction. From the same starting point, you can also walk to the various shops and cafes that are nearby. There's a moderately sized parking lot that also has a small turn around area if you're being dropped off. The waterfall is far from the most impressive I've seen, but it's a nice walk if you want to go somewhere relaxing. 4 stars.
