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.

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’.

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.
