Wagawn & Garragoolba Lookout - Binna Burra:

The walk has some wonderful views along the way including Warumblebah Lookout, Garragoolba Lookout and Junimbabah Lookout to name but 3. Whilst we are down here, if we have all made good time we will also visit Mt Hobwee and its lookouts of Darrayabrooand Dacelo before heading back up to the Border track and the fairly easy grade walk back to Binna Burra.

This is an 18k- 20k walk that has a number of natural lookouts on its path that should provide some spectacular views, and world class rainforest as a bonus! Mount Hobwee Circuit is located in the Binna Burra section of Lamington National Park. This stunning national park boasts extensive walking tracks along the McPherson Range, which allow visitors to explore the area's forests, creeks and waterfalls. Dramatic lookouts afford views over the Gold Coast, south-east Queensland and northern New South Wales. Come and be amazed.
