Discover towering trees, palm groves, trickling streams and amazing birdlife in the best remaining example of the rainforest that originally covered this part of the Great Dividing Range.
Local Aboriginal people and those travelling to the bunya feasts in the Bunya Mountains used the area extensively. Rainforest hardwoods, red cedar Toona ciliata and other timbers were felled from about the 1860s.

This walk travels down hill to Bauraba Creek, Ravensbourne National Park. Bauraba Creek is a small stream with Piccabeen Palms over the other side. It is spring fed, so there really isn't much water.
There are two decent sized waterfalls along Buaraba creek plus a pretty cascade.
