Rainforests of Queensland
Our rainforest expeditions are designed for photographing the highest number of species in the least amount of time. We take you to some of our favourite national parks to track down large, venomous and rare species of snakes plus a broad range of amphibians, mammals, insects, arachnids and birds. The night is where the forest really comes alive, however, daytime is a great opportunity to visit natural landmarks such as waterfalls and lookouts. We recommend spending a couple of days in each national park to experience these incredible rainforests both during the day and at night.

D'Aguilar National Park
D'Aguilar National Park is striking in its diversity of environments and plant communities. Our tours take you on a journey through open eucalypt woodlands, scribbly gum forests and lush subtropical rainforests. More than 800 plant species are found in these forests, some of which are rare and threatened.
The cool mountain tops and forest flats of D’Aguilar National Park provide a rich and varied habitat for wildlife. The cooler mountain climate is ideal for certain species of fauna such as ferns and mosses. Giant barred frogs and spiny crayfish inhabit the mountain streams, while yellow-bellied gliders and short-eared possums are active at night in the tall open forest. Owls, like the vulnerable powerful owl, also live here, preying on small animals including possums and snakes. The park provides excellent birdwatching opportunities—bowerbirds, wompoo fruit-doves, bell miners, yellow-tailed black-cockatoos and cat-birds can often be seen or heard throughout the forest.
Lamington National Park
World Heritage Lamington National Park is recognised for its high biodiversity, and the fact it contains a living museum of the evolutionary steps taken in the development of Australia’s modern day flora. The national park includes around 22,000 hectares of varying forest types, from temperate Antarctic Beech forest high on the border ranges through the sub-tropical rainforests, to the dry eucalypt forest of the northern escarpment.
Lamington National Park provides a home for a huge array of sub-tropical birdlife (over 160 species), reptiles, frogs, mammals and invertebrates. Frogs, birds and crayfish are relatively easy to find and photograph, whereas the snakes and other reptiles require a bit of searching and luck.
