MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR TIME

What to do

Your journey up to O’Reilly’s is a great way to explore and experience the Scenic Rim and surrounding areas. Plan your day ahead and be sure to pre-book any activities to avoid disappointment.

Getting Here

Located just 90 minutes from the Gold Coast and 2 hours from Brisbane, O’Reilly’s is an easy and rewarding day trip for those wanting to experience the beauty of Lamington National Park.

The journey to O’Reilly’s is part of the experience. Travel via Canungra and if time allows, stop along the way for a creekside snack or gourmet picnic basket at Canungra Valley Vineyards. Families may enjoy some extra time to walk the friendly alpacas before continuing the drive.

From Canungra, allow around 40 minutes to travel the winding and scenic mountain road to O’Reilly’s.  For an even more memorable trip, download the O’Reilly’s app before you leave and enjoy the Audio Tour, designed to help guide your journey and share fascinating stories and facts as you make your way up the mountain.

What’s On

There is far more to discover at O’Reilly’s than just the Tree Top Walk. Day visitors are welcome to enjoy the Rainforest Café, browse the gift shop, take part in the much-loved bird feeding, or pre-book one of our guided activities and experiences.

You can also explore our Centenary Exhibitions on display throughout the year, celebrating the rich history and legacy of O’Reilly’s.  On weekends, guests are invited to enjoy complimentary billy tea and damper from 10.30am to 12pm – a warm and memorable tradition that adds something special to your mountain visit.

Helpful Tips

A little planning goes a long way when visiting the mountain. We suggest pre-booking activities in advance, especially during busy periods, and allowing extra travel time for the winding mountain road. Comfortable footwear is recommended, along with a jacket, water bottle and sun protection. Even on warm days, temperatures on the mountain can be up to 7° cooler than the coast, so it is always worth bringing an extra layer.

If you fall in love with the mountain and decide one day simply isn’t enough, ask our team about accommodation availability. A spontaneous overnight stay can be the perfect way to enjoy even more of the walks, activities and peaceful rainforest surrounds.
