Coomera Circuit- Gold Coast.
1hr drive from Brisbane (approx) - put this hike on your day trip list. Moderate fitness required.

It’s a challenging ~17km rainforest hike in Lamington National Park’s Binna Burra section (about 110km from Brisbane), featuring Coomera Falls, multiple river crossings (rock-hopping), and Antarctic Beech forest, requiring around 7 hours and caution after rain.

Access is via Binna Burra Road, starting from the upper day-use area, but check for current track closures before you go as this hike is planned to reopen February 2026.
