The Araucaria Lookout Track in the Binna Burra section of Lamington National Park is reached by following the Border Track to the foot of Mount Hobwee. For much of this section, the track winds upwards along the Beechmont Range through subtropical rainforest, with occasional sections where Antarctic Beech is prominent.
A turnoff to the left takes walkers to Araucaria Lookout, Mount Hobwee or Mount Wagawn.
Araucaria Lookout is the first option on the left, with a suitable lunch spot on the track - the Orchid Bower. A set of steps leads up the rock wall to a lookout that provides spectacular views of the Mount Warning caldera.
The final track to the summit of the lookout leaves the loop track and follows the ridge through a small area of open heath dotted with clumps of rock orchids. The summit gives spectacular panoramas of the Springbrook Range and the Mount Warning Caldera.
