This is now one of our favourite hikes in the local GC area. We went on a sunny dry morning, so no fear of slipping, although could definitely see it getting that way on a wet day. Definitely recommend parking and starting in Tallebudgera so that you start the hike walking up then returning on the way down. The track is clearly marked with signage to the top, so you don’t need any kind of GPS tracking to navigate this one. It’s a beautiful trek, challenging at times due to it taking around 1.5-2 hour to ascend (took us 1:40) and that is all uphill. But what a reward at the top! Be sure to walk through into the Springbrook ends car park, as there you will find a gorgeous English Tea House, where we enjoyed a tea and scones!! (Much deserved) We then went and enjoyed the views of Goolmoolahra Falls and its picnic area! Which as amazing views out to the valley. Not sure what people are talking about when they say there is nothing to see, we found this a gorgeous hike, with brilliant views at the top! It then took us about 1.15 to get back down. Highly recommended!!!! |
