O'Reilly's to Binna Burra via Toolona Creek | Lamington National Park | Hiking Gold Coast Australia

This journey follows ancient trails through the heart of Lamington National Park, where subtropical rainforest gives way to cool temperate forest high on the plateau. Along the way, the track passes countless waterfalls spilling from moss-covered cliffs, hidden valleys alive with birdsong, and cloud-shrouded lookouts with sweeping views across the McPherson Range — marking the natural border between Queensland and New South Wales. Starting at O’Reilly’s, the hike climbs through Toolona Gorge, weaving past cascades and fern-filled gullies before joining the Border Track. From there, the trail winds for over 20 kilometres through pristine Gondwana forest, across mountain ridges and misty saddles, before finally emerging at Binna Burra — a journey that feels like stepping through time itself. Whether you’re drawn to the challenge, the solitude, or the raw beauty of the mountains, this trek is one of Queensland’s most breathtaking adventures.
