Larapinta Falls Track

Starting from Christmas Creek Road, Lamington, this walk takes you to Larapinta Falls, following Christmas Creek and exploring the dense rainforest of Lamington National Park. An absolutely stunning waterfall over 30 metres high, Larapinta Falls truly feels out of this world. Don’t be shy, take a dip in this epic setting as you listen to the hypnotizing sound of the gushing water. Even though there are other waterfalls on your way here, none of them can prepare you for this beauty. As you’re making your way through the forest, keep an ear out for the tunes of different bird species and try to single them out. You’ll also pass by Westray's Grave, where you can read about the unlucky death of the englishman. Be careful whilst rock hopping as the rocks can become extremely slippery when wet. If you get lost, try to realign with the creek and look for the pink tape on the trees. Bring lots of water and snacks. 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.
