Coomera Circuit

Lamington National Park

This track showsoff some of Binna Burra's best assets and is one of the prettiest walks in this section of the park. The waterfalls are at their best after rain. The track does cross over the Coomera River several times and crossings can become tricky if water levels are high.

An easy circuit with stunning scenery. I don't think I've ever seen so many waterfalls and streams in one hike. Absolutely beautiful after recent rain.

Amazing waterfall after waterfall, rarely a time you can’t hear running water

Gorgeous walk on a rainy day! A few creek crossings, one of them was a little higher and we got our feet wet, all other were fine (despite all the rain over the last couple of weeks). About 20 km clocked in from car park and back. Easy track, plenty of roots and mud, and a few leeches to keep us on our toes. Absolutely recommend!

Went the day after a couple of days of heavy rain - waterfalls, boggy mud, leeches, fallen trees everywhere. It was great fun, managed to get it done in about 5.5 hrs (with stopping at every waterfall and plenty of photography) and would definitely do it again. If it has been raining prepare to get your feet wet, we crossed many creeks that just weren't possible to cross without stepping ankle deep in the flowing water. The grade of the track is quite mild the entire way, we did it anti-clockwise and we reckon that's the way to go.

This is a great walk. Waterfalls everywhere. It’s pretty dry at the moment but everything is still flowing. Awesome!

Walk is currently closed due to the late 2019 bushfires. Not sure when it will reopen or if the tracks will be repaired

We did out and back to the falls 13km

Beautiful walk with my two children, my GPS showed a total of 21.7klm from top carpark.

Well everyone said this was a special walk and it was. Sensational... literally. Such a great day did it in 4 hrs including lunch and tea and a few stops in the rock pool looking at the blue fresh water crays. Great track one I’ll be doing again

Amazing walk! Waterfalls at every turn. Track was quite muddy but not too bad. Took 4 hours including lunch.

Went on an amazing and soul soothing hike with the Brisbane Womens Hiking. Met some lovely ladies. Took us 6 hours, it said 7 hours going by the park map, pretty happy bout that. Stopped for about 40mins all up. I tell ya i will be sore tomorrow but wow it was soooo worth the effort. Such an extraordinary experience.

A stunning walk with plenty of waterfalls. It rained the night before the walk and again for about an hour during the walk so plenty of mud and leeches, but also plenty of water to make the falls look their best. The track was easy to follow and pretty straightforward but there was a few trees down along the track that needed to be clambered over. A highlight for me was seeing a huge blue crayfish up close and of course the Coomera Falls. My original intention was to follow the river up from Gwongarool Pool but was advised that it wasn't a good walk to do alone so did the circuit instead, but wasn't disappointed as it was a great day. I stayed at the lodge the night before and after so that I could get an early start and not have to drive home straight afterwards. A walk I would definitely like to do again. All up from lodge to lodge with side tracks to all the falls I clocked 20.5 kilometres in a time of 5 hours 53 minutes so made it back in time for lunch.

A rather long walk not to hard just a long slog. Forget trying to stay dry after rain and even before rain as the track criss cross the creek so many times I lost count. Boots and socks were soaked from the bottom of the lookout onwards.

Beautiful hike with two stunning views along the way and plenty of waterfalls and creek crossings. We encountered one docile pademelon and several large crayfish who were quite reluctant to let us pass on the trail. The circuit with a few breaks took us 5 hours.

Hannah on 17 Apr, 2019

3rd time I've done this track but the 1st time I was lucky enough to see the famous Lamington blue cray, not just one but they were everywhere. It had rained a few days before, so the track was a bit muddy and slippery in some spots but still relatively easy going, with only 2 leeches spotted and removed from my friends shoes. So many waterfalls. So many beautiful spots for pictures.

Absolutely beautiful walk. Took us 6+hrs and we are of moderate fitness level.
There is very little signage once you get past the falls and quite a few little off shoots to other falls that are not on the map. Just a heads up as I did find this a bit stressful unfortunately.

Binna Burra is about a 2 hour drive from Brisbane and is located up in the hinterland of the Gold Coast.
Lamington National Park is the glorious rainforest that surrounds this area 🌿

They have a few walks to choose from up this way. Whether you are after a short stroll or a longer hike, I guarantee they will all be beautiful 🍃☘🦋🦎🦘 Today I hiked the Coomera Circuit 👟🚶‍♀️
This is a 17.5 km hike through lush, tropical rainforest which crosses Coomera River several times and leads you to some pretty magnificent waterfalls 🏞

They say to allow 7 hours for this hike. It took me 4.5 hours all up and that was stopping for MANY photo's and about 45 minutes at one of the falls rock hopping and playing in the water for a rest and grounding 🧘‍♀️💙💧
Don't go by Strava, it dropped out on me and missed about 7 km of this hike.
They have had a lot of rain up this way and it is so lush and green 💚🍃
But it has made the track slippery and boggy with a lot of debris as well as tree's fallen across the track in places. So just be mindful.

This hike is an easy hike but long. I am clumsy at the best of times, but by the home stretch I was tripping over my own feet 🥴

Coomera Circuit is a picturesque hike through our magical Lamington National Park.
This hike is one I highly recommend 🌄

Enjoy and go and live this life bright 🙏 💕

Beautiful walk. Had some intermittent rain throughout, but it just made the waterfalls look more spectacular, and the moss look greener. Lots of leeches, so wear DEET insect repellent if possible. Drop in for a cup of tea at the teahouse after! Hopefully next time they still have some lamingtons left :)
