Mount Lewis Forest Reserve

Part of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, this park is also home to significant rare and threatened wildlife, including the white form of the lemuroid ringtail possum and the Mount Lewis spiny cray.

Take a scenic drive through the forest. Have a picnic beside a rainforest creek. Walk the short track to a small dam, a remnant from tin-mining days and a popular spot for birds.

Take your binoculars to Mount Lewis Forest Reserve and watch for golden bowerbirds, blue-faced parrot-finches and southern cassowaries. Go spotlighting for a variety of possums.
