Starting from the car park near the Old Government House on Queens Jubilee Drive, Belair National Park, this walk takes you on a circuit past the Lower and Upper Waterfalls via the Waterfall Hike. The Waterfall Hike is one of Belair's more challenging walks, showcasing the park's beautiful views, waterfalls and rock escarpments. The trail leads through the Echo Tunnel to a viewing platform at the Lower Waterfall, then runs along the escarpment above the Upper Waterfall. Plenty of wildlife can be seen along the walk, including kangaroos, koalas, and emus, and in spring, there's an abundance of blooming orchids and wildflowers. Both waterfalls are seasonal and best viewed after heavy rainfall. This loop consists mostly of dedicated walking trails, with some short steep hills, and can be done in either direction. Caution is advised along the cliff edges near the Upper Waterfall, which are unfenced and can be slippery. Dogs are allowed, but must be kept on a leash. 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.
