Green Mountains, Lamington National Park, in the hinterland of the Gold Coast, draws hundreds of thousands of visitors each year to its waterfalls, wildlife and wonderful walking tracks. Pick up the latest brochure from the information centre and enjoy walking tracks (from one kilometre to 22 kilometres in length) leading to creeks and lookouts. Stay overnight in the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Services camping area; bring a fuel stove, as campfires are not permitted. In the picnic area, take photos of crimson rosellas. On the O'Reilly's Treetop Walk, look into the rainforest canopy. On the Python walk, listen for the masked mountainfrog’s 'popping' call. The regent bowerbird, rufous scrub-bird and antarctic beech tree found here are species that have survived since prehistoric times. The approach to the park, located 36 kilometres south of Canungra, is narrow and winding and unsuitable for caravans.
