binna burra sky lodges

It's only a matter of weeks before Binna Burra's new accommodation is complete. The Sky Lodges are Binna Burra's new style self-contained apartments that sleep from 1 - 10 people. Choose from a Studio, 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom or 3 bedroom apartment to accommodate singles, couples, families and groups.

Each has it's own fireplace and spa bath, and the views from every Sky Lodge are breathtaking. The best views available.

Sky Lodges appeal to those who prefer a more contemporary alternative to traditional Binna Burra, yet guests can still access the historic Lodge and can utlisie the Clifftop Dining Room or book onto one of our many activities.

For over a decade, EarthCheck has been collecting information about the operational performance of over 1100 travel and tourism organisations in more than 65 countries. This Program is the largest environmental management system for the benchmarking and certification of their operational practices. Binna Burra recently undertook the annual EarthCheck assessment and came out with top green marks! As a result of doing so well, we will feature on EarthCheck’s soon-to-be launched public website. It will contain several new features that will help draw the media’s attention to organisations who are excelling in their sustainability practices and benchmark reporting. Binna Burra Lodge has been  identified as one of those who rated at or above Best Practice level on eight or more indicators in our most recent Benchmark Assessment Report. In this same report, we did not fail in a single indicator! That’s an excellent achievement that we are very proud of. Environmental Officer for Binna Burra, Dean Hogg, has been working hard to accumulate and input the data required for this enviable       accreditation. Facts & figures include power usage, water usage and chemical usage. EarthCheck’s Greta Tolksdorf has classed Binna Burra Lodge as being ’beyond green'.

It was an eye-opener for all who attended the Sky Lodge morning tea in July 2011. The weather was perfect enhancing the uninterrupted views across the Valley. Wow! You won’t find a better view. Many of the Sky Lodge owners were there to see how their Lodges are progressing. In attendance was John Brent, Mayor of the Scenic Rim, and Cathie Johnston, Tourism Development Coordinator for the Scenic Rim. Due to a run of dry weather, the buildings are on schedule and due for completion in December 2011. Binna Burra’s new accommodation will boast spectacular views, spa-baths and fire places and will attract a new market to Binna Burra. From a 1 bedroom studio to a 3 bedroom apartment, the Sky Lodges can sleep up to 10 people. If you would like to purchase one of the few remaining Sky Lodges contact Tim on 0417 068682 or if you would like to stay in a Sky Lodge call Binna Burra on 1300 246 622.

Spring time is when life begins in Lamington and a great time to be walking before the Summer rain. With more than 160km of Australia’s most diverse bush-walking tracks, there is plenty of choice to either go the distance or take a cool dip in the pools. One classic walk in Lamington National Park which departs from close to Binna Burra’s campsite is Dave’s Creek. This 12.4km graded track is very varied and extremely interesting. Wildflowers are abundant at this time of year. The walk takes in cliff-top tracks, creeks, mosses & ferns, Antarctic Beech trees, and a variety of lookouts. It’s a ‘must-do’.

For more information on Lamington National Park walks, go to Binna Burra’s website: www.binnaburralodge.com.au.

Keep The Scenic Rim Scenic is a non-political group standing against mining coal seam gas in the Scenic Rim region. Formed by local businesses including tourism operators, this group of concerned residents are doing all they can to be seen & heard. Coal exploration will commence in this area in 2011.  ‘Protestors on Peaks’ is being organised by Keep The Scenic Rim Scenic in association with Lock The Gate’s National Action Day on coal seam gas. On Sunday 16th October the plan is for hundreds of people to climb our peaks with their yellow triangles and huge white banners, carrying anti-CSG and coal mining messages. Protestors on Peaks is designed to be a truly different, visual, media event, which includes an aerial flyover at around 11am to capture footage for national TV news bulletins covering protests across the country.

The Commando makes a meal out of this years Boot Campers, with a gruelling exercise regime for 3 days and nights. Half of this years six Boot Camps are almost through, with 24 participants facing hardier challenges than ever before. Rain, hail or shine ‘there are no excuses’, and this year’s gangs are gritting their teeth through blacked-out muddy faces. There are no en-suited rooms at the Lodge for them either - it’s the military-style sleeping quarters of the Bunkhouse for these diehards. 80% of all people attending the 2011 Boot Camps are flying interstate to attend the event. Participants have come from as far as Tassie & W.A. to get a taste of what The Commando has to offer.
Albert Lyrebirds are not commonly spotted, but can be seen here in Lamington National Park. Lyrebirds call mostly during winter, and a great place to try and see one is at ‘Joella Lookout’ on the Border track, appx. 5km from Binna Burra (’Joalah’ being the aboriginal term for Lyrebird). As well as their extraordinary mimicking ability, lyrebirds are notable because of the striking beauty of the male bird's huge tail when it is fanned out in display; and also because of their courtship display. His tail resembles the musical instrument the lyre, which is how the Lyrebird got its name. Lyrebirds render with great fidelity the individual songs of other birds and the chatter of flocks of birds, and also mimic other animals, human noises, machinery of all kinds, explosions, and musical instruments. The lyrebird is capable of imitating almost any sound - not uncommonly, sounds as diverse as chainsaws, car engines, fire alarms, camera shutters, dogs barking, crying babies, and even the human voice!
