O'Reillys/Green Mountains (Waterfalls Galore!)

We headed back to Lamington National Park again this weekend. Last time we went to the Binna Burra section of the park, this time we headed over to the Green Mountains section. And I'm thinking that it is even more spectacular than Binna Burra. We first walked along the Tree Top Circuit - a series of bridges and decks high up in the trees, just outside of the O'Reilly's resort. Then we walked along the Box Forest Circuit - a very long and rough (came out to about 14km total), but ultimately rewarding class 4 trail that involved multiple creek crossings and numerous waterfalls. We also added a lot of extra climbing and navigating over treacherous rocks because we wanted to get the best possible views of the waterfalls.

I'm going to continue with my theme of just laying out the pictures without the long explanations. Its a lot faster andeasier for me to do it this way too.

First 3 pictures were from the Tree Top Walk where we got to climb up to the top of a tree and look around the countryside from a perch 30m above ground.

After having a quick lunch we took a few minutes to feed the birds. And admire the big carpet python sleeping in a nearby tree (a few shots above).

Now that we were done with lunch and bird feeding...it was time to hit the big trail.

The third last shot is a little burry but I think really cool. Apparently what happens to the trees is these fig vines grow over them and this is what it looks like early in the process...eventually the trees are completely enveloped and they die and simply crumble, leaving the figs with hollow centres. A neat process that creates some cool looking trees!

The last shot is just a funny way to end it. We were driving home and this bull was on the road and had no intention of moving so we drove around it.
