Today we headed south of Brisbane to Lamington National Park to bushwalk the rainforest. Our drive took us through the Canungra valley (wine country) and Tamborine mountain. We stopped along the way to watch people lawn bowling, a very exciting sport - NOT! Once in the park we decided on two walks: the Tree Top and Marons Falls. The tree top walk took us over a very rickety bridge and up a tree for a fantastic view. The Marons Falls walk was ~4.5 km through the rain forest, down to the falls and then back up. Whew! The only kangaroo we've seen so far was road kill. Australia has kangaroo signs along the hwy like we have deer signs.

Me climbing up the tree (not my best side). You can't even see the top in this picture.
Views from the top of the tree.
Taking a breather by the Booyong tree.
This little critter gave me quite a start when he slithered across the trail in front of me.
An interesting tour bus.
Morans Falls.
The falls.
The trees look like twisted ropes.
We had to wait on a herd of Australian cows to cross the road.
After leaving the rainforest, we decided to drive over to the Gold Coast.
Love the sound, although like the pics, it's not the same as it is in person.
Me doing one of my favorite things.
Incredible and I bet the pictures don't even do it justice. The tree climb looked very secure and what a view from the top. I loved the footprints in the sand :)
