Lamington NP has its fair share of brush turkeys (who stole our dinner carrot), and pademelons (shy, small, fat, round, furry hoppy things). There were also hoards of other birds; robins, finches, lorikeets, pigeons, bowerbirds, cockatoos. And the alpacas I met on the way in.
Here are Henry the Alpaca, and some of the fighting rosellas near the main tourist centre in the Green Mountain section.
The Cape Byron lighthouse. From these photos you’d almost think it wasn’t thronged with tourists. Situated on the most easterly point of the Australian mainland, it’s also Australia’s most powerful lighthouse (which I would concur with, after seeing it beaming up to the Queensland border from the lookout at Echo Point in Lamington NP).

Xanthorhea – they were absolutely everywhere around the QLD-NSW border National Parks
