Travel from Coolangatta to Binna Burra stopping in Springbrook National Park along the way. Enjoy a delightful circuit walk followed by a visit to Purlingbrook Falls.
You will have a choice of two circuit walks today of varying difficulties. Both circuits will pass through several vegetation types. Waterfalls are also aplenty today on either circuit choice. Today’s tracks will criss-crosses rainforest creeks for much of the day, passing many waterfalls.
Today we will walk on the Hinterland Great Walk as we head down into the Numinbah Valley. This track takes you to the remote eastern escarpment for great views into the Valley.

The Gold Coast Hinterland area is purported to be the largest area of protected subtropical rainforest in the world, with sizeable areas of warm temperate rainforest and nearly all of Australia's remaining Antarctic beech cool temperate rainforest. This is an untouched environment where new plants are being found, classified and named even today.
More than 160 species of sub-tropical birds will keep everyone engrossed. Many of them are easy to see and unafraid of people. The striking black and yellow regent bower bird is always a favourite. Red-necked pademelons, possums and sugar gliders are commonly seen around the lodges in the evenings.
The walking near O'Reilly's and Binna Burra is mostly easy on well graded tracks. This trip operates with two guides so we can offer easier and harder walk options along the way.
