Lamington National Park: Hiking, Waterfalls & Rainforest Adventures in QLD

Established in 1915, Lamington National Park, a World Heritage Area spanning 21,176 hectares, lies south of Brisbane in Queensland, close to the town of Gold Coast. The McPherson Range, which forms part of the Scenic Rim mountain chain, runs through the park.

Extensive walking tracks weave through Lamington’s rainforests, creeks and waterfalls. These range from short, easy strolls to challenging hikes, leading visitors deep into the heart of the park. Dramatic lookouts offer panoramic vistas across the Gold Coast, southeast Queensland and even into northern New South Wales.

Lamington is renowned for its lush rainforests, ancient trees and spectacular scenery. As part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area, it boasts some of the world’s most extensive subtropical rainforests, warm temperate rainforests and the most northerly reaches of cool temperate Antarctic beech forests. These ecosystems shelter a diverse range of plant and animal life, including threatened and endemic species.

The traditional custodians of the land, the Yugambeh people, call Lamington “Woonoongoora” and consider it a place of great spiritual significance. Evidence of volcanic activity from millions of years ago can also be found within the park, with remnants of the Tweed shield volcano visible in nearby mountains.

Lamington National Park offers visitors the chance to immerse themselves in a captivating natural environment. Whether you choose a short walk or a longer trek, remember to respect the cultural and natural significance of this World Heritage Area.
