Walk the famous Border Track with this one-way bus transfer service!

One way transfer from Binna Burra Lodge to the Green Mountains section of Lamington National Park (O’Reillys).

The Border Track is part of the Gold Coast Hinterland Great Walk and follows the ancient volcanic landscape of the Tweed Volcano, which is still being eroded by rushing streams and plummeting waterfalls, and through lush rainforest with relicts of Gondwana flora and fauna.

This is not a guided activity. Maps are available from Lamington National Park Visitor Centre or Online. Please come prepared for a full day walk with essentials such as food, water, sunscreen and basic first aid.

This is a jointly operated service between Binna Burra Lodge and O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat and may involve a brief toilet stop at Canungra Valley Vineyards where a change of bus may be required. Typical arrival time at Green Mountains is 9.50am.
