Facilities include the aptly named Lost World Spa, a heated plunge pool, a games room, a lounge and a library, but O'Reilly's is above all a rambler's paradise, with stunning bird-watching and rainforest walks. When British broadcaster and naturalist David Attenborough sought ancient Antarctic beech trees and satin and regent bowerbirds to film for his acclaimed 1979 series Life on Earth, he went to the vast...
