Greenes Falls

Starting from the Maiala Picnic Area off Mt. Glorious Road, Mount Glorious, this walk takes you to the Greenes Falls via the Rainforest Circuit and Greenes Falls tracks, exploring the dense forests of D'aguilar National Park. The journey towards the waterfall is filled with interesting wildlife and gorgeous trees, and the overall experience of being in a rainforest that feels ‘alive’ is well worth the time you’ll spend. You may come across pademelons carrying their cute little babies in their pouches, along with some wallabies and Australian logrunners. The peculiar sounds of eastern whipbirds and the mysterious-looking strangler figs make this a truly distinct walk. Come after some decent rainfall to see the cascades and the waterfall flow fiercely through this already beautiful environment. Remember to leave your pets at home. 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.
