Distance: 13.6k, Difficulty: Grade 3-4
Carpooling from Tamborine visitor Information Centre at 7:30.
Start: Binna Burra Teahouse at 8:45am.
From the Binna Burra Tea House, head along the Border Track for 2.3km before branching on the Daves Creek circuit track. Descend through the head of Woggunba Valley out into Daves Creek country. Keep an eye out for Surprise Rock—a volcanic dyke made of hardy trachyte, which is able to withstand erosion.
Enjoy magnificent views of Springbrook, Mount Hobwee, the Araucaria lookout and Numinbah Valley from Numinbah lookout. We will stop and enjoy the cool surrounds of Picnic Creek.
The circuit passes through several distinctive vegetation types: warm and cool subtropical rainforest along the Border Track; warm temperate rainforest, containing many examples of ancient angiosperms such as coachwood Ceratopetalum apetalum, in Nixon Creek's headwaters; and wet sclerophyll forest with giant New England ash Eucalyptus campanulata, around the track intersection to the Ships Stern circuit. It's a botanical delight!
This park is part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area, famed for its ongoing geological processes, evolutionary history, and diversity (especially of rare, threatened and endemic species).
After the walk we will enjoy refreshments at Binna Burra Teahouse.
