点评:I visited Green Mountains section of Lamington NP for the 1st time on the Ekka Holiday to do the Box Forest circuit.
I spent some time beforehand checking out O’Reilly’s including the Stinson plane wreck and did the excellent (&free!) Treetops Walk, a series of suspension bridges high in the trees billed as the first/oldest canopy walk in the world (I passed a crimson rosella along the way!).
The Box Forest circuit was beautiful - a trek through a rainforest fairyland with some amazing waterfalls & vegetation. I saw a few people but the walk was mostly secluded given the length.
The actual Box Forest circuit is 10.9km per the signs but I recorded 14.9km on Strava, likely because of the walk from the Green Mountains NP entry point to the start of the circuit along the Border Track takes a few kilometres.
The walk is a waterfall wonderland through ancient Gondwana rainforest with most waterfalls on the 2nd half of the trek (worth the wait!). Darragumai Falls, Nugurin Falls (my personal fave), Elabana Falls & Boxlog Falls were all on display and flowing proudly with the rock hop to the hidden Elbana Falls a nice mini-adventure
Afterwards I had a coffee & yummy vegan burger at the O’Reilly’s Mountain cafe overlooking the mountains while resting my tired legs & trying to keep my food away from the pied currawongs! The staff in the cafe have name badges with their country of origin too - my friendly server was from the UK!
翻译:我在 Ekka 假期第一次参观了拉明顿国家公园的绿山部分,进行了 Box Forest 环游。
我事先花了一些时间检查了奥莱利,包括斯廷森飞机残骸,并进行了精彩的(而且免费!)树顶步道,这是一系列高高在树上的吊桥,号称是世界上第一个/最古老的树冠步道(我经过了一个一路上都是深红色的玫瑰色!)。
盒子森林环线非常美丽——徒步穿越雨林仙境,那里有一些令人惊叹的瀑布和植被。我看到了几个人,但考虑到路程的长度,这条路大部分都是僻静的。
根据指示牌,Box Forest 赛道的实际长度为 10.9 公里,但我在 Strava 上记录的长度为 14.9 公里,这可能是因为从 Green Mountains NP 入口点沿着边境步道步行到赛道起点需要几公里。
这条步道是穿越古老冈瓦纳雨林的瀑布仙境,大部分瀑布位于徒步旅行的后半段(值得等待!)。达拉古迈瀑布 (Darragumai Falls)、努古林瀑布 (Nugurin Falls)(我个人最喜欢的)、埃拉巴纳瀑布 (Elabana Falls) 和博克斯洛格瀑布 (Boxlog Falls) 都在展示中,随着摇滚乐骄傲地流向隐藏的埃尔巴纳瀑布 (Elbana Falls),这是一次不错的迷你冒险
之后,我在 O’Reilly’s Mountain 咖啡馆喝了一杯咖啡,吃了美味的纯素汉堡,一边俯瞰群山,一边休息我疲惫的双腿,并尽量让我的食物远离花斑响鹃!咖啡馆里的工作人员也戴着标有原籍国的名牌——我友好的服务员来自英国!
