The Tree Top Walk
Just like the legendary Tarzan with a love of botany and climbing trees, one visionary man had a dream some three decades ago to immerse himself high amongst the rainforest canopy of Lamington National Park.
Peter O’Reilly (now aged 84), or Big Pete O’Reilly, as he is referred to by his friends and family was the driving force behind construction of the world’s first Tree Top Walk in World Heritage-listed Lamington National Park. The Tree Top Walk is open daily and entry is free of charge. Read more here:

Stinson's Plane Wreck Hike, Christmas Creek, Lamington NP QLD
Stinson's Plane Wreck Hike, Christmas Creek, Lamington NP QLD..... on Saturday 3rd August 2019.
Wikilocs here:
A great trail that we pushed through and completed in 3hrs 37mins....to the Plane Wreck and back and with a brief stop at Westray's Grave. Mind you, that is pushing it at a rapid pace with two other young men that were happy to smash the time on this trail!
I always have great respect for the original survivors of this trail and the rescuers that got them out. If you're into the history of the plane crash, here's a really cool movie that was made back in the day about this event:
Worthwhile seeing if you intend hiking to the wreckage to make you appreciate the trail experience more. Loads of ribbon markers on this trail these days - what could go wrong???
Also passed a bunch of crazy wild women that were on their way up when we were descending. Love the fact that those girls weren't scared to tackle this trail, putting a lot of blokes to absolute shame! Good on them - you crazy wild women of Lamington National Park!! I tip my hat off to you... and to the Yowie creature that lives in these parts.
Here's another great plane wreck to visit:
Get out there and explore this big amazing world God has given us, and share the adventure. Enjoy the video.
By the way, if you're into hiking videos, check out my YouTube channel containing videos of some of my hiking expeditions around South East Queensland, Australia. Hope they inspire you to get out and explore this amazing place... ???? LINK HERE:

DAY 34 - EXPLORING SPRINGBROOK NATIONAL PARK | Road Trip Australia Travel VLOG
Day 34 - 5th October 2017

Let's Explore: Lamington National Park
This past month has been one of the busiest I have experienced in quite some time. After finishing all of the assignmnets and exams that were taking over my life, it was about time that I got away from it all and took advenatge of my new found freedom (thank goodness for the mid-year break). So I found some willing friends and dragged them out to the wilderness of Lamington National Park.
After a late start we decided to explore what Lamington National Park had to offer, and it was incredible. Exploring one waterfall after the next, we soon realised that this place was something special.
With many stops to take in our surroundings (and to catch our breath) we ended up getting caught in the rain as the sun was setting - and before we knew it, we were trudging back up the mountain in the dark, enduring the rain and mud. All in all, it was an incredible, surreal day and very well worth the 16.10 kilometre walk.
We will see you again soon Lamington National Park!
