Access
Green Mountains (O'Reilly's)
Exit the M1 at Nerang and follow signs to Canungra (signs also indicate Lamington National Park or O'Reilly's). Turn left into Kidston Street and follow this road up the mountain (don't miss the great views along the way!) to the carpark adjacent to the QPWS Information Centre, campground and O'Reilly's Guesthouse.
Note that the road, although sealed, is narrow and winding and has many blind corners. Take care!
