You can visit Lamington National Park without going to O'Reilly's at all; and even if you do go there, you don't have to book overnight accommodation.
That sound's more reasonable. From the website it sounded fairly high-class.

There are guided bus tours that include it on their itineraries, or you can make a day trip there off your own bat. It's pretty much of a stock-standard tourist attraction with snackbar, gift shop, etc.
That's neat. I mean a bus coming from Brisbane just as transportation to the park, I'd probably want to spend weekends there and record bird communications (as well as just enjoy being in a more unaltered and beautiful part of creation.) Day trip is what I would go for. Is the park ever closed?

But what sets it apart is that you can buy bags of birdseed, then go out in the open and become a human parrot perch. You stand with your arms outstretched, hands full of seed, and you might have one on top of your head, and two or three on each arm, and they form a queue and hop over you in a circuit so that they all have a turn eating the food in your hands. It's good fun. 
Ah, that does sound like fun. So they don't mind anyone feeding the friendly wildlife? Any restrictions as to how much and what kind of bird food I can bring (or do they want the food bought from them only and is it higher cost I would guess?)

How did the public speaking thing go?

Xan scrubbed up very handsomely in a two-piece dress suit, and he and his beautiful co-host emcee'd a talent night. The two of them have previously represented their school in public speaking, and last night they had a tight script and a friendly audience. They did brilliantly, and the whole evening came off really well. Mummy is proud. 
Congratulations to your son! Well done Xan! Hope you had a fun time up there. I've never been an MC, but just being a wise man for a Christmas play one time was enough for me. Glad you did well!

I've only visited the park twice, and one of those times was on a 4WD day tour, but you can get more info from this QUEENSLAND GOV'T WEBSITE - LINK. It doesn't seem like there are regular commuter buses into the area (don't know for certain), so either private car or a booked day trip would be the available options.
Xan says thanks for the kind words! His feet are still hovering an inch or two above the floor.
