Undercliffe Falls
Undercliffe Falls is a waterfall located on the Bookookoorara Creek in northeast New South Wales.
Undercliffe Falls is estimated between 140m and 160m high. This estimate is based on analysis of the topographic profile around the waterfall and may not be an accurate figure for the total fall of water seen if viewing the falls.
The nearest populated town of Stanthorpe, with shops, wineries, accommodation etc etc is 23km away, via Amosfield Road. The nearest sealed road to Undercliffe Falls is the Mount Lindesay Highway (7.59km away). The turnoff, to Rivertree Road is located in the small village of Liston. The entrance to Undercliffe Falls is from Rivertree Rd and is signposted. You travel through farmland. Camping & coffee etc is available at Aloomba Lavender on the northern side of Liston. Liston has holiday accommodation and Liston hall (with bar) is often open on Fridays and some public holidays.
Care should be taken near the top of the waterfall, as a fall would be easy.
Mobile phone reception is patchy. Telstra is best so far. A public phone is available in Liston.
Public toilets are also in Liston (cleaned by local volunteers).

Coomera Circuit
This track showsoff some of Binna Burra's best assets and is one of the prettiest walks in this section of the park. The waterfalls are at their best after rain. The track does cross over the Coomera River several times and crossings can become tricky if water levels are high.

Coongara Rock
I have found this gem a challenging summit but only because the two times I have been up has been off-track. There is a track but I haven't been on it all the way. Awesome views of over Mt Walsh National Park and also west towards Coalstoun Lakes. Certainly some steep rocky sections and would not advise if wet or inexperienced.

Lagoon Circuit
An outstanding walk for exercise, bird-watching, or just taking in the expansive views across the wetlands of the Townsville Town Common. Combining the Lagoon Trail and the Freshwater Trail allows you to circumnavigate the freshwater lagoon. There are excellent opportunities for viewing both wetland birds (Brolgas are frequently seen), and open forest birds. Part of the Freshwater Track traverses the top of an old earthen dam through the centre of the wetlands. The track is mostly flat and does not involve any climbing. The route is a shared walking/cycling track, and is mostly open with good visibility. Winter months, and mornings and afternoons are best.

Mt Marlow
Excellent walk for the views, traverses open forests and semi-deciduous vine thickets along the side of the peaks. The summit of Mt Marlow provides superb 360 degree views of the wetlands and coastline. You can complete a circuit by returning via the Lagoon Trail or the Freshwater Trail through the wetlands. These trails provide excellent opportunities for viewing wetland birds.
Only the middle sections of the Many Peaks Track are considered hard. The other sections are medium, and the Lagoon and Freshwater Trails are easy shared bicycle/walking trails. Mosquitoes can be a problem at certain times of the year, so bring some repellent. Winter is the best season. Refer to the track notes below.

The Forts Walk
This walk has it all - spectacular coastal views, WW2 history, and possibly the best walk in Australia for spotting Koalas in the wild and close up!
The walk leads to WW2 fortifications built to guard the entrance to the Townsville Port, and consequently they provide spectacular and un-interrupted views of the bay and surrounding coastlines. Along the way, the walk passes through the old encampment areas which has great interpretive signage to explain how the area looked during the war. It is in this area that walkers are almost guaranteed to spot a wild koala lounging low in the trees.

Buderim Tramway Track
Take a walk back in time as you follow the track of the old Buderim to Palmwoods Tramway, with various information points along the way. It will transport your mind back to a time where this active rail connection was the spine of a growing community. At the same time, the setting is beautiful with a natural environment that boasts towering trees, small mosses, and fern gullies.

Mothar Mt Rock Pools
This is a pretty little walk you can take whilst visiting the rock pools at the junction of Boulder Creek and Woondum Creek. It's only 500m long and is a great little nature walk for the family. Be aware that even though it is graded 'easy', the creek has to be crossed and care should be taken with little ones that they don't slip on the rocks.
