GPS Tracks
A short easy walk from Falls picnic area along the southern side of Boonoo Boonoo Gorge to the viewing platform where you have great views of the 210m waterfall.
Legend has it, Banjo Patterson proposed to his sweetheart Alice Walker. Over the sound of the pounding waterfall, Banjo was relieved to hear, or at least lip-read, an unmistakable ‘yes’!
Getting there:
From Tenterfield take the Mount Lindesay Road north and then turn right into Boonoo Boonoo Falls Road signposted to the falls. Follow this road to the end (20km) where there is parking and a picnic area.
From Stanthorpe drive towards Amosfield, then south along the Woodenbong Road/Mount Lindesay Road towards Tenterfield. The road is partially unsealed, with the turnoff onto Boonoo Boonoo Falls Road 7km past the Bald Rock junction.
Maps:
None found.
Route/Trail notes:
The track is clearly marked and sealed to the viewing platform. On the way back, extent your walk by climbing down across the boulders to the swimming holes or out to the very edge of the falls themselves if water levels allow.
Permits/Costs:
National Park entry fee applies (2022 = $8 per vehicle/day). Park entry fees and camping permits can only be purchased online from National Parks NSW. Camping at Cypress Pine Camp Ground.
Other References/Comments:
Take your swimmers and towel for a cooling dip in one of the many pools along the river.
