Day 1: Brisbane / Lamington National Park
Depart Brisbane and climb high above the surrounding coastal plain to the cool quiet rainforests of Lamington Plateau. Visit Mount Tamborine with its spectacular panoramic views of the Gold Coast and glistening waters of the blue Pacific Ocean. Enjoy an opportunity for morning tea and a leisurely walk in the fresh mountain air.

From here we head toward the "Green Mountains" of O'Reilly's. After checking into O'Reilly's Rainforest Guesthouse, the rest of the afternoon is free to enjoy this natural wonderland. The Lamington National Park offers 160 kilometers of walking tracks to over 500 waterfalls and panoramic mountain lookouts. Experience temperate beech forest high on the border ranges, warm sub-tropical rainforest and dry eucalypt forest of the lower valleys. One of the most popular strolls is the Tree Top Walk, a series of nine suspension bridges which takes the visitor high into the rainforest canopy. Two observation decks, the highest 30 meters (100feet) above the ground, give the visitor a commanding view of life in the tree tops.

This evening, enjoy a rendezvous with the wildlife. Take a walk to Glow Worm Gully, spotlight around the Guesthouse, or perhaps watch a film in the Rainforest Theater.

Overnight Accommodation: O'Reilly's Rainforest Guesthouse - Mountain View Room

Day 2: Lamington National Park / Brisbane
After breakfast take a guided bushwalk, or perhaps a 4WD adventure trip onto the Lamington Plateau. View the ancient Antarctic Beech trees together with a multitude of flora and fauna. This afternoon, return down the range, visit a unique Alpaca farm and listen for the Bellbirds, Rosellas and Parrots as they create a symphony of natural music.

Travel through Canungra, the old sawmilling town that is now home of the Australian Army's Jungle Warfare Training Centre. Arrive back into Brisbane with a desire to return to the spectacular beauty of the "Green Mountains".
