Lamington National Park

I love Lamington National Park. I don't love the drive there so much with all the twists and bends and being on the side of the mountains. But the views are stunning....breathtaking. And driving through the rainforest is quite exhilatrating.

We did a short walk from the Green Mountains section. It was just inder 2kms I believe and took us past the treetops walk. I am terrified of heights and the thought of walking on the wobbly chain and wood plank bridge was scary but I overcame those fears and just did it. I am glad I did as well....it literally took my breath away being up that high and looking down. In some parts you couldn't even see the ground for the trees.

Walking on the track made me realise that I want to get fit and do these types of things more....by myself and with the kids. It just felt so good. It made me feel alive.

The Green Mountains section is well known because of O'Reilly's and the story of the Stinson. It is one of my favourite Aussie hero stories. I would love to do the walk to the crash site but that requires a high fitness level. But it will happen.
