All about the Green Mountains Natural History Association.

The GMNHA was established with the aim of fostering interest in the Green Mountains section of Lamington National Park in Southern Queensland.

Most weekends you can meet members volunteering at the Green Mountains Information Centre located on the left of the road just 200m before the main O’Reilly’s guesthouse entrance. We also hold member weekends and educational events and activities relevant to our local environment, as well as social activities. New and prospective members are always welcome.
