After consulting with various friends about where to go next over the weekend, I set off around mid-day armed with my remaining highly recommended itinerary. First stop was a national park on the southern border of Queensland up in the mountains name Lamington National Park. <\/p>\n

I managed to end up with a nice little spot for my tent even though it was meant for campervans. Up in the mountains it was actually pretty cold overnight, but I had plenty of warm clothes to rug up in. There were quite a few hiking trails along rainforest ridges and down into valleys past beautiful waterfalls. I only had time to do an elevated tree-top walk the day I arrived, and a 12km forest\/waterfall loop the morning before I left. A very nice hike that descended into a river valley and crisscrossed past various waterfalls. <\/p>\n

Saw quite a bit of interesting wildlife, but I did ‘t care much for the perpetual onset of leeches at the riverbanks. They look like little black inchworms and they move very quickly up your legs looking for a spot to dig into. Fortunately, the hair on my legs would tickle when the attempted to climb me, so I was able to quickly find each one and flick it off before it bit me.<\/p>\n
