Located in the Binna Burra section of Lamington National Park, this circuit takes walkers through a fascinating variety of forest and heath. Dave's Creek Circuit descends through the head of Nixons Creek out into Dave's Creek country.
The track passes through several distinctive vegetation types: warm and cool subtropical rainforest along the Border Track; warm temperate rainforest containing many examples of ancient angiosperms such as coachwood in the Nixons Creek headwaters; and wet sclerophyll forest with giant New England ash around Nagarigoon clearing.
