    Easy walk, take a picnic to eat on picnic Rock, lots of water due to recent rain, walked further up to another lovely waterfall and large pond the blue spine lobsters are incredible

    Worth the hike ! 2 hours round trip, but expect to stick around at the falls, because they are magnificent. Take your time, look for the ancient arctic beech trees, dingo footprints, bower birds parrots and lyre birds. Take a stop at picnic falls, a very nice 3/4 mark on the trail to the falls. Itโ€™s mostly down hill so expect an up hill return

    My favourite falls yet in Southeast Queensland. So pretty. Didn't sight any of the spiny cray but I've heard they're very cool and worth a search! The hike to the falls is pretty easy, but to get to the best view point there is a small rock scramble at the end that's a little tricky especially after rain.

    Better for experienced hikers, especially when weather is wet. Definitely a worthwhile effort to get to the Falls which are beautiful and refreshing

  • 5/5 Pat E. 6 years ago on Google
    Amazing walk with a breathtaking waterfall. Park at O'Reilly and make your way down to the border track. Keep following till you reach the box forest track. The entrance can be a bit tricky to find, the best advice I can give is that if you start walking along the road from the carpark it starts at a pathway to the left on the opposite side from the large plane.

    Scenic drive to hike starting spot, path well maintained and waterfall was amazing 10/10 would recommend

  • 5/5 ่”กๅฎœๆ–น 6 months ago on Google
    1.5 hour walk into the woods, the trail is easy and very shady. Don't foul by a place called Picnic Point and just stop there, the amazing view is about ten minutes walk further on the right when you are facing the waterfalls.

  • 5/5 Bengt H. 7 months ago on Google
    Beautiful walk under the canopy. Bring good shoes as the rocks can be slippery and we also came across snakes. Birds fly out and settle on your head, wanting food. The fall itself feels like something from the Jurassic.

  • 5/5 Ruth S. 8 months ago on Google
    Beautiful hike! Would suggest you dress warm as it is a cooler climate than the rest of Brisbane.

  • 3/5 Ian M. M. 1 year ago on Google
    Not a lot to see and the track ends on a slope that can be a bit perilous if wet and/or lot of visitors. Picnic Rock, en route, is a great place to stop though.

  • 5/5 Sharon B. 10 months ago on Google
    Great walk to the Falls, l left it a bit late to go there and was getting dark when l got back. Took me about 2 hr 30 minutes but l didn't stay long because of the time and l was not dawdling.

  • 5/5 Edip h. 10 months ago on Google
    Beautiful walk and many others to see.

  • 5/5 Eve L. 11 months ago on Google
    perfect walk beautiful fall, maybe wait when its dry for 1 week, i went after rain and it was a squelching walk ๐Ÿ˜Š

  • 5/5 Tianzhuo C. 1 year ago on Google
    This was an easy walk, nice place to jump in for a swim.

  • 5/5 Rhys T. 3 years ago on Google
    Easy walk, good spot for a picnic at the base of the falls. Definitely recommend for either when itโ€™s raining or right after it!

  • 5/5 Koralalage Don Aminda Chathuranga U. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the smallest but easier to get close Waterfall. Best to reach when there were no rains for few weeks. Plenty of photo opportunities. Get here following West Canungra Creek Circuit from O'Reilly. The total length of the trek is about 14 Kilometers. Some cliff edge walking paths so take extra precautions.

  • 5/5 Shannon R. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful waterfalls. Although, not a large swimming area it is worth visiting for a quick dip and some lunch on the rocks.
