Nerang National Park

👍 We thought this would be ok for walking trails. But really it's setup for off road bike use. Most of the trails seem to be too rough for safe walking and hiking. Plus you need to watch out for very fast bikes. Not too good for views either. Saw one Kangaroo.

Lamington National Park - Green Mountains Section
National park
👍👍 This was a really great place to come and hike for the day. The most important thing to know is the drive. The last 30-40-odd kilometers is on a very narrow road with lots of “one-lane” sections, blind corners and a speed limit of 40km/h (which it would seldom be safe to exceed anyway). Google is qu...
