In reply to Sophie. Hi Sophie, there are a few unsealed sections but getting to these walks is all on well-formed road although steep and narrow in sections. There are a couple of sections of gravel but not-wheel drive track. We've driven up there many times in a standard car before we got our 4-wheel drive.

Hi there, with all of these walks, are the roads to the carparks unsealed? Just wondering if we'll definitely need to hire a 4WD when we go up there in November. Thanks!

In reply to Linda @JourneyJottings. Thanks for the suggestion Linda, we ran out of time on our last visit to extend the Elabana Falls walk and had to double time it back to the lodge. We're looking forward to doing this one again so will take your suggestion and go via Box Forest next time - thanks!

Like you - I love the Lamington National Park - I've done the Box Forest Walk a couple of times which is about 10km but comes back via Elbana Falls across Picnic Creek - I can highly recommend it - Not a moment where there aren't stunning palms, huge rainforest trees or views of the cascading Canunga West Creek.

This national park is incredibly beautiful. It looks like a scene straight out of the Avatar movie. My favorited is the tree top walk but even as a person who doesn't hike much the beautiful nature would inspire me. I love the pictures of the birds and the waterfalls.

In reply to Elena (@TravelingBytes). Hi Elena, Western Australia is fabulous, all the states have some wonderful scenery and hiking to offer. Lamington National Park is in Queensland and about an 11 hour drive from Sydney but if you have 3 months hopefully you will have plenty of time to see around a lot of the east coast this time.

Elabana falls looks sooo nice! Even though 7km is a bit out of my usual hiking range haha! It absolutely seems worth the trek.

Since we are unexpectedly going to spend another 3 months in Australia, I am all ears (and eyes for that matter) about anything and everything to do and visit there. Last time we covered Western Australia. I hope this time we might have time (and means 😉 ) to venture somewhere else. Sydney is one of top choices. While there, Lamington National Park would a great place to visit too. I would be curious to check a treetop walk (the one in Western Australia was amazing), and we both love hiking. Thank you for sharing info about this park.

This national park seriously has it all. A free treetop walk and waterfalls and ... so many other things you mentioned! I have gotta go here!

Thanks for sharing these beautiful walks in Lamington National Park! That tree top walkway along the Booyong track looks so well maintained! I can't believe it is free admission there.
