Sam Kelly Road to Gheerulla Falls

Mapleton National Park

A easy to moderate hike which roughly follows the course of Gheerulla Creek to Gheerulla Falls. Experience changing habitats as you leave the cool, valley floor to skirt the hills, pass through eucalypt forest and then return to rain forest. You will pass deviations to Thilba Thalba walkers’ camp and later to Ubajee walkers’ camp, but keep going straight ahead, following the signs to the waterfall. Return by the same route. There are several water holes which may provide swimming opportunities.

Comments

Very pretty walk. Encountered many trail runners, possibly due to the imminence of the Blackall 100. Falls were running well.
