Article History

Lamington Plateau, section of the McPherson Range, southeastern Queensland, Australia, near the New South Wales border. With an average elevation of 2,000 feet (600 m), it occupies an area of about 75 square miles (195 square km). The headwaters of the Nerang, Coomera, Albert, and Logan rivers rise there. The plateau, named after Baron Lamington (Charles W. Baillie), a former state governor, is the site of Lamington National Park, which contains scenic wooded peaks, including Mount Wanugara (3,925 feet), more than 500 waterfalls, ancient stands of Antarctic beech trees, and rare birds and plants. The area is accessible via the Mount Lindesay Highway from Brisbane (70 miles [110 km] north).
