(Bush Camps)Remote bush camping in an open grassy area next to Kobble Creek, in the remote northern section of the park. A short walk takes you to the top of the Kobble Creek waterfall. Keep an eye out for the prehistoric-looking Lepidozamia (cycads) on your walk to the bush camp. Skinks and keelbacks (freshwater snakes) can be seen basking on the rocks at the top of Kobble Creek waterfall. Bottlebrush plants flower along the creek beside the bush camp in spring.

We did the loop track, longest (and steepest) section down then visited the falls and walked back. A medium sized python sunbaked on the track quite unfazed by us. There was water in the pools at the top of the falls which was clear and lovely! Wanted to walk down the side track to the bottom of the falls themselves (looks quite pretty down there) but did not due to the long grass and not wanting to be bitten by snakes!A really lovely walk, took 3 hours in all - not quite as steep as I thought it would be - would be a nice overnight stay to see the bottom of the falls.

Mainly easy to follow track. Some of the turn offs can be hidden. Make sure you bring map and compass. In the late afternoon a pair of Wedgetail Eagles circle overhead and roost somewhere near the Wivenhoe Lookout. Also came across a snake in the middle of the track.Along the track you get fleeting views of the coastline. As you proceed along the track near the 'proceed at own risk' sign, better views can be had.
This track is better suited to bush camping than a day walk.
