This is the most uninteresting walk you'll ever do!
Score 1/10 from me.
There is nothing to see , it's just a bush walk!
Have I missed something?

A short board walk beside Obi Creek
(Bellbird Grove - 1.7km)
A walk through open bushland to the creekbeds. And then onto the Aboriginal gunyas too bad more walks do have examples of history as this does.
(Bellbird Grove - 1.8km)
Cross the road and continue to the track shelter showing some history of the area then onto a plaque and continue along the track to a caged mine shaft. A worthwhile walk
(Binna Burra - 2km)
Easy walk that starts from the carpark near the driveway up to the Binna Burra Lodge. Follow the well sign posted track.
(Binna Burra - 5.2km)
From the information centre, this interesting track winds up through open forest and rainforest to emerge on the road opposite the ship's Stern track entrance. It provides excellent views into the Coomera Valley and passes a large red cedar and fine specimens of other rainforest tree species. A range of volcanic rock types and formations can be observed. Koalas are often seen in open forest area along the walk. Take care when walking down the bitumen road to return to the start of the circui
