Denham Falls

Starting from Doncaster Drive,Beechmont, this return walk takes you to a viewpoint near Denham Falls, exploring the dense rainforest of Denham Scenic Reserve along the way. Formed along Back Creek, Denham Falls is a gorgeous waterfall that you can view from the top without much effort. Listen to the mellow sound of the water gushing down as the refreshing air near the falls fill into your lungs. It used to be a great destination for swimming, but unfortunately the creekside is not accessible anymore. Try to come after a decent rainfall to see the waterfall at its strongest. Dogs are not allowed in the reserve. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
