The
Border Track is the backbone of
Lamington National Park, 110km south of
Brisbane. The track crosses both sections of the park— Green Mountains (O'Reilly's) and Binna
Burra. The Green Mountains section is on the western side of the Lamington Plateau in an area called O'Reilly. The Binna
Burra section encompasses the rest of the park to the east.
The full length of the track is 21.4km one way - taking about 7 hours to complete. The trail is a Grade 4 walking track. The hike boasts stunning scenery and spectacular
views.
There are many other walking trails that radiate from this trail. It's also a part of the longer
Gold Coast Hinterland Great Walk (GW). On a clear day, lookouts provide spectacular
views of the Limpinwood Valley, 'Wollumbin' (
Mount Warning) and the Tweed Range. During winter months, walkers are likely to hear the loud ringing call of the Albert's lyrebird.
There is a short (600m return), steep side-track that leads to two lookouts—Beereenbano and Merino—with
views over the Tweed and Limpinwood valleys.
