Waterfalls

The Minnamurra Rainforest Walks are found in the Budderoo National Park. It’s a 400-hectare pocket of tropical and warm temperate rainforest, the perfect spot to soothe your body and your mind. From the information centre, you can access the 1.6km lyrebird loop walk or the more challenging, 4.2km Minnamurra falls walk. Feel your senses awakening as you listen to the birds, feel the spray of the waterfalls and spot rainforest residents – perhaps the superb lyrebird, eastern water dragon or swamp wallaby. Access via Minnamurra Falls Road, Jamberoo. Amenities include parking, limited wheelchair and pram access (part of walk only), picnic tables and public toilets. Entry Fees apply.

Granite Falls is a 63-metre-high waterfall that runs down the sloping granite rock face into the valley below. Just over a 1km return journey through stunning eucalyptus forest, the trail is marked with interpretative signs that highlight the history of the area. The walk is suitable for small children but just be aware that there are several stairs once you reach the lookout. If looking for more adventures and great views, George Boyd lookout and Tianjara Falls are only a short drive away. Access via Twelve Mile rd., off Bendalong Rd. Parking available at the beginning of Granite Falls Walking Track
