(Springbrook National Park)
A rewarding sheltered walk through rainforest rock clefts and behind the twin falls.
Distance:
4km
Duration:
1.5 hours
Difficulty:
Medium
Getting there
If you can, visit local information centre a couple kms from Canyon Lookout. I believe it was once the original school house.
This walk starts from the Tallanbana picnic area in Springbrook National Park. You could also try starting from Canyon Lookout. If you were walking the entire walk Tallanbana would be ideal as a base to start from.

Go now, go now, go now, go now, go now, go now, go now, go now
GO NEXT WEEKEND.......
Since there has been so much rain all of the waterfalls are running at peak flow. If you wait too much longer you might miss out. And the incredible noise is amazing the power of nature is something to behold. When the waterfalls run at peak it is just as good as anywhere in the world.
This is a great walk to go on. I walked it and it was extremely slipperly and wet (raining). Watch out for all the exposed tree roots. And the wet rocks ....be very careful..... But the reward was firstly making it to Twin falls. We followed the track to the next waterfall down the river from the twin falls creek.
Just take plenty of time at TWIN FALLS. I mean sit there and take it in. Also since it was raining we were not able to have a lunch break instead we sat and sipped our camelbaks. And had lunch later back at the top.
And if you have a video camera i would strongly recommend bringing it along. And then exploring the rest of the walk. We did and were pleasantly surprised.
We met a few walkers, family groups, and one tour group. And this brings me to something i'll write an article about sooner.... stayed tuned.
