Queen Mary Falls Circuit

Starting from the car park off Spring Creek Road, this circuit walk takes you to the Queen Mary Falls via the same-titled track, crossing Spring Creek twice along the way. The 40 metre high waterfall will leave you in awe as much as the dazzling scenery around it. If you’re here in summer, pause and feel the water spray on your face. You can see water dragons sunbathing on the rocks along with amphibian species near water. Near the start/end, picnic tables and BBQs are provided for a scenic meal after the hike. The track can be quite busy, come early to avoid the crowd and have a more secluded experience. 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.
