Highlights

The scenic Coomera circuit in the Binna Burra section of Lamington National Park, leaves the Border Track 1.9km from the trailhead. It passes through subtropical and warm temperate rainforest communities, and giant brush box forest. Wind down the Beechmont Range and into the Coomera Valley, passing through delicate tea-tree thickets and large stands of eucalypt and brush box.

The spectacular cantilevered lookout (5.5 kilometres from the trailhead) hangs over the 160 metre deep gorge and has beautiful views of Yarrabilgong and Coomera falls. The views provide dramatic evidence of the power of erosion, which has cut through a thick resistant rhyolite lava flow. From the lookout, follow the edge of the Coomera Gorge and its waterfall—Gwongorbulli Falls, before passing a series of cascades and waterfalls, the last of which is Goorawa Falls. See if you can spot bright blue and white Lamington spiny crayfish in the pool at the base. The track crosses the river several times before rejoining the Border Track and returning to Binna Burra carpark.

This park is part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area, famed for its ongoing geological processes, evolutionary history, and diversity (especially of rare, threatened and endemic species). This walk is managed by the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service. The map on their site only shows an indicative start point; the track route and end point are not shown, and the map cannot be used for navigation purposes. See the web site for detailed maps and the latest park information. When you are in the park, read the signs at and near the start of the track. Grade 4 Circuit.
