The Box Forest Track leaves the Picnic Rock track 2.7 km from the entrance and is a most rewarding circuit walk. The track winds down through stands of Brush Box and Piccabeen Palms, to the lush sub-tropical rainforest along Canungra Creek. Pepper Vines cling to tall trees that often support spectacular tree gardens.

Turn right at the next track junction. During wet times, you will have to wade through the water when crossing above Wajinya Falls. The track continues near the top of the falls on the other side. Darragumai Falls and Picnic Rock are considered good lunch spots. Don't miss Box Log and Elabana Falls on the way home.

Great walk! Loved the Elabana falls. And so cool to see blue crayfish chilling in pools or climbing up the mountain. Just a beautiful place!

Track is in the backyard of O'Reillys Rainforest Retreat so makes for a nice getaway after breakfast. I highly recommend their villas just wish we had stayed longer to enjoy all the other tracks Lamington is famous for.

Steep traverse. A nice short walk.

Nice short walk that shows off what Green Mountains has to offer, great walk to take kids on I remember doing this walk back in 99/2000 with two young girls who had never walked any distance before and completed it without complaint, I think they were more taken in by the beauty of the forest then the distance they were walking

Great walk, nice to be up at Oriellys, staying in the campground again, this was in the week of the September 11th attack... Have memory's of coming back from a hard days walk and being up at the lodge bar for a celebratory beer when we heard the news, and having conversations with international guests, about the event, there was one very upset American girl who was trying to make a call home....
