Bellbird Lookout
Lamington National Park
THIS TRACK NO LONGER EXISTS
This track branches off the Ships Stern circuit and descends through rainforest and open forest before emerging suddenly at Bellbird lookout—a natural lookout (with no handrails) above a very high, sheer cliff. Please keep children under close supervision and keep well away from the cliff edge.
The land around this lookout and most of the track is not part of the national park—it belongs to Binna Burra Mountain Lodge. For enquiries, please contact Binna Burra Mountain Lodge on (07) 5533 3622.
From here you get an excellent view of Ships Stern, Turtle Rock, Egg Rock (Kurraragin) and Numinbah Valley—all remnants of what millions of years of erosion, landslides and weathering have created.
Hoop pines Araucaria cunninghamii can be seen from the lookout, growing on the exposed northern slopes. Harvesting of hoop pine and red cedar Toona ciliata led to the initial European settlement and ultimately the clearing of Numinbah Valley for agriculture.

Buaraba Creek Track
Ravensbourne National Park
This walk is an extension off Palm Creek Circuit in Ravensbourne National Park, travelling downhill to Bauraba Creek. Bauraba Creek is a small stream with Piccabeen Palms over the other side. It is spring-fed so the water is quite shallow, but it's also cool and fresh - a great shady spot to rest before the walk back to the car.
Officially listed as Grade 4/Hard difficulty (includes rough surfaces, some steep stairs + occasionally overgrown), this track is suitable for walkers with a moderate fitness level.
