Getting there:

Off the Bruce Highway at Nerang on the Gold Coast take the Nerang Murwillumbah Road. Signposted after the dam take a left onto Pine Creek Road and left again onto Springbrook Road that leads you up onto and across the plateau to the various lookouts and walks.

This walk starts from either the Tallanbana picnic area or Canyon Lookout.

Springbrook National Park

Route/Trail notes:

The track is easy to follow but steep in places and can be completed in either direction although anti-clockwise is recommended. There are two junctions where the Warrie Circuit meets this circuit, one near Twin Falls and the other at the base of Blackfellow Falls, but both are well signposted.

Permits/Costs:

None.

Other References/Comments:

The area is very busy particularly at weekends and parking can therefore be a problem.

If you can, visit local information centre a couple kms from Canyon Lookout. I believe it was once the original schoolhouse.

A cooling swim and a picnic at Twin Falls is well worth the effort of the walk down.

Go now, go now, go now, go now, go now, go now, go now, go now

GO NEXT WEEKEND.......

Since there has been so much rain all of the waterfalls are running at peak flow. If you wait too much longer you might miss out. And the incredible noise is amazing the power of nature is something to behold. When the waterfalls run at peak it is just as good as anywhere in the world.

This is a great walk to go on. I walked it and it was extremely slipperly and wet (raining). Watch out for all the exposed tree roots. And the wet rocks ....be very careful..... But the reward was firstly making it to Twin falls. We followed the track to the next waterfall down the river from the twin falls creek.

Just take plenty of time at TWIN FALLS. I mean sit there and take it in. Also since it was raining we were not able to have a lunch break instead we sat and sipped our camelbaks. And had lunch later back at the top.


And if you have a video camera i would strongly recommend bringing it along. And then exploring the rest of the walk. We did and were pleasantly surprised.

We met a few walkers, family groups, and one tour group. And this brings me to something i'll write an article about sooner.... stayed tuned.

This is a great walk visitng some impressive waterfalls particularly in the summer months, better than air conditioning.

This was a nice walk with some great rocky sections to walk through. Both falls were flowing.

Great relaxing walk though the valley - so so many leaches.
