Curtis Falls

1.1 km return

20 min to 30 min

20 min to 30 min

Starting from the car park at the end of Dapsang Drive, Tamborine Mountain, this walk takes you to Curtis Falls through the dense eucalypt rainforest and back via a singular walking track. Sitting amidst ferns and eucalypt trees, Curtis Falls is a lovely little waterfall to view, and well worth the mud on your shoes. Hiking through the lush rainforest you may come across bats, brushturkeys, and some kookaburras. Also keep an ear out for the distinct call of the Albert’s Lyrebird, which the Aboriginal people called ‘Joalah’ (haunt of the lyrebird). You can share this tranquilizing experience with your family as well, as the track is quite undulating and undemanding. Although good trekking shoes may come in handy, as the track gets muddy and slippery after rainfall. Come early to avoid the crowd and minimize the noise coming from the road. 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.

45 min to 1 h 15 min

Starting from the car park off Knoll Road, Tamborine Mountain, this walk takes you on a circuit in the lush rainforest of Tamborine National Park, visiting Cameron Falls and a couple of lookouts along the way. Admire the beautiful scenery as the gentle walking tracks welcome you into an immersive experience through nature. Keep an ear out for the soothing sound of water gushing down as you get closer to the waterfall. Here, you’ll be able to see gorgeous orchids finding their way out of the rocks around spring. If lucky, you may even view the rainbow that is forming from the strong spray of water. Speaking of, the waterfall is best viewed after decent rainfall, but that might lead to more leeches and muddy sections in the track. Besides the waterfall, the area is home to many bird species such as lyrebirds and bowerbirds. In fact, you can try to spot a bowerbird nest as you have a nice picnic in the rainforest. You can eat anywhere along the track but keep in mind that there is a designated picnic area at the trailhead, providing you tables and such. An insect repellent may come in handy.

Joalah Lower Creek Circuit

45 min to 1 h 15 min

Starting from the car park at the end of Dapsang Drive, Tamborine Mountain, this walk takes you on a circuit in the tropical rainforests of the Tamborine National Park, crossing Cedar Creek multiple times and visiting Curtis Falls with a side trip. The trip separates you from the city as soon as you dive into the dense eucalypt rainforest, filled with birdsong. Speaking of birds, the distinct call of the Albert’s Lyrebird which the Aboriginal people called ‘Joalah’ (haunt of the lyrebird) can be heard if you listen carefully. The walk is shaded the whole way, making you feel even more remote, like in a terrarium. The lovely little waterfall named Curtis Falls is well worth the side trip, sitting beautifully amidst fern and rocks covered in moss. You can even see some water dragons nearby if you’re lucky. Although you can't take a shower under the waterfall, you can swim in the waterholes up north. Keep in mind that the track might require small amounts of rock scrambling, or climbing over a fallen tree. Good trekking shoes may come in handy, as the track is rocky, muddy and slippery after rainfall. Come early to avoid the crowd and minimize the noise coming from the road.
