Moonlight Crag, Balancing Rock and Castle Crag (Lamington National Park) |

| We did Moonlight Crag, then Balancing Rock and because they didn't take as long as we had anticipated we decided to "stop in" when we saw a sign for Lyrebird Lookout. DO NOT BOTHER. There are pink ribbons to mark the way but the way is very slow going and overgrown with lots of vines with no sign of a track for parts of the way . We were wondering whether to turn back when we stumbled on Orchid Grotto after about 20 minutes, which was a a beautiful, peaceful spot with an air of magic about it - it would be amazing when the orchids we saw were in flower. We pushed on and came to Lyrebird Lookout, very underwhelming and not worth the effort. As the day was getting late we decided to double back as we couldn't risk getting lost. Overall advice; Orchid Grotto was worth the visit, but turn back there :) | ||||
