On 3rd March we visited one of the Gold Coast's most beautiful national parks: "Lamington". We started our hikes from O'Reilly's where we did a short tree top walk and a longer hike through the rain forests. We saw lots of birds and waterfalls. Bush walking through rainforests is great. We really enjoyed the warm and humid air. We were especially lucky with animals as we saw a Golden-crowned Snake and a Lyrebird.
