West Cliff Track

Lamington 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. Lamington is part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area, which includes the most extensive areas of subtropical rainforest in the world.

The West Cliff track turns off to the left from leading past a Black Booyong with extensive buttressing and a tall Hoop Pine 30 metres further down the track.

Follow the cliff line down past a view of Raining Cliff to the picnic area. Pat O'Reilly's log cabin is 70 metres in from this spot. Peregrine Falcons nest in caves in these cliffs and often rest in the dead trees above the cliff line.
