Day 2: Lamington National Park

Begin the day with a stretch and then breakfast at the Tea House. We collect our lunches for the day and depart for our big day on the trails. 

Trek: Ships Stern: 21kms, 7-8hrs 

This must-do southeast Queensland trek is full of surprise and delight. Today you will have many opportunities to gaze upon sweeping views of the Numinbah Valley and the Gold Coast coastline. The name of the trek comes from the likeness of the natural feature on which you trek to a "ships stern". Under foot experience a mixture of rough trails with tree roots and rock hopping in places. The native flora is abundant on this trail as you move from rainforest to drier landscapes.

After our inspiring day we visit the historic Arthur Groom's cottage for a celebratory drink around the fire pit.
