Route/Trail notes:
From the car park, a 10m walk provides a raised platform to enjoy the view of the falls. From here, continue downhill along the track and across two creeks before the circular track begins. There are numerous interpretive signs and also a second viewing platform at Peregrine Lookout.
Permits/Costs:
None.
Other References/Comments:
This walk forms part of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland Great Walk (58km). Nearby Baxter Falls is a far more exciting and challenging area to visit.
As ever, there is an option to get to the base of the falls, but this is for the very experienced only and requires GPS navigation, covers 9k, 3h and a lot of bush bashing.
