Mt. Warning to Lamington N.P.

We got up at 4am to hike up to the top of Mt. Warning for sunrise (apparently the first point the sun hits in Australia). Unfortunately, it was a bit cloudy which was quite disappointing because the night before had seem really clear and starry. Oh well...it was a good effort anyway, and a nice hike.



On to some more national parks. Natural Bridge was amazing - you can walk behind the falls in a wee cave area and watch them coming through the roof above your head. Lovely spot!


Springbrook was really impressive too - definitely some token viewpoints for the lazy tourist, but a few hidden and beautiful spots for the slightly more adventurous.














The next day we went to Lamington N.P. and walked a 14km looptrack down to the creek through rainforest areas. It was really pretty and well worth doing. I ran round Moran's Falls and Python Lookout, which also had impressive views over the canyon area and more waterfalls. Randomly bumped into friends of the Robsons who I stayed with in Christchurch - the guy recognised me as "the Scottish tennis girl". Funny - its a small world as they say!
