WORLD HERITAGE 4WD RAINFOREST DAY-TOURS
4WD ECO Tour
The Sunset Safaris WORLD HERITAGE LISTED 4WD Tour takes an amazing look into the ancient, and very special “Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area.” This truly spectacular tour takes you to what many regard as the two most beautiful rainforest areas in Australia.
Experience the awesome Rainforest Treetop Boardwalk and amazing Wildlife of Lamington National Park. See the majestic Natural Arch of Springbrook National Park, with its ancient boulder strewn stream and Glow Worm Cave. Wildlife abounds in the mountains and along the plains, as the Sunset Safaris 4WD buses take you to see the REAL AUSTRALIA, spotting Wild Kangaroos, Wallabies, Platypus and Koalas.
This tour has been carefully designed without compromise, to showcase the very best of the Gondwana Rainforest and the REAL AUSTRALIA.

Situated 3000 feet above sea level, Lamington National Park is saturated in beautiful sub-tropical rainforest, providing food and shelter for a huge array animals. The magnificent Giant Fig trees and twisting rainforest vines are complimented by the moss and rainforest fungus clinging to the trees and forest fl
oor.
oor.Here you will experience the breath taking 180 meter long “tree top boardwalk,” situated high in the Rainforest canopy amongst the birds and flowering trees, with an observation deck 110 feet above the ground. This very stable boardwalk is suitable for all ages, even those who are afraid of heights.
You will also experience the majestic Wild Rainbow Lorikeets and King Parrots, who come flooding out of the Rainforest wanting to feed right out of your hand.
At O'Reilly's, you will also have the opportunity to see the rare and very beautiful Paddymelon, a minature Rainforest Kangaroo found right throughout this rainforest.
NATURAL ARCH
The Natural Arch, also known as the Natural Bridge, is a true miracle of Nature. This splendid moss and fern covered archway hides a magnificent waterfall, plunging down from the rocks above into a dark glowworm cave below. Nestled in pristine Sub-Tropical Rainforest, the Natural Arch is home to many rare and threatened plants and animals. It is also home of the very rare Marsupial Frog, who carries it’s young in a pouch just like a Kangaroo.
The Natural Arch is a place forgotten by time, with giant Rainforest trees towering out of cave creek, and twisted vines, moss and ferns dangling from the canopy above. The Natural Arch has attracted film crews from all over the world to film this spectacular scenery, including the Steven Spielberg Dinosaur Epic, TERRA NOVA to be released in 2012.
