Starting from Lamington National Park Road, O’Reilly, this great walk takes you to The Settlement Day Use & Camping Area via the 54km Gold Coast Hinterland Great Walk, visiting many lookouts, waterfalls and swimming holes along the way. Get ready for an epic adventure through the ancient Gondwana rainforests that offers you unique experiences such as walking on the rim of the Tweed Volcano. The scenery is exceptional and diverse, featuring secluded and remote parts that will make you forget the era you’re in. Spend the night in the jungle, cool off in the rock pools and take in the frequent stunning views along the way. Although it’s a challenging journey, it is definitely one of the best ones. Look out for horse riders and snakes. Take extra care whilst crossing the creeks. Keep in mind that the recommended (and better signposted) direction of travel is from west to east (O’Reilly’s to Springbrook). Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
