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.
Completed the buaraba track today and all side tracks. The creek was only just a trickle and the walk back up was hot so would recommend completing the walk earlier in the day. It was a lovely walk and the Gas Beutel lookout is a beautiful place to stop and have a picnic.
Nice and easy walk in lush palm tree rainforest with lots of bird spotting. Be careful though as there is quite alot of Gympie Gympie Stinging Tree along all the trails within this National Park and quite a few of them are close to the track (within accidental brushing distance of arms or ankles).
Made this walk as part of a circuit with the Rainforest and Palm Creek circuits. Relatively easy with some steps that some people might find challenging. There wasn't much water but still a really pretty creek and nice spot to stop and take a break.
Word of warning, if travelling from Brisbane and using GPS, it may want you to go along Seventeen Mile Rd. This is an unsealed road that is only suitable for 4WD - lots of corrugation and pot holes. Best to go via Esk
A well marked and easy to follow trail that leads you down gradually to a little stream. There are places to sit by the stream and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. I did find three very curious drawings on a cliff face and have uploaded the pictures, I'd love to know more about them especially if they are true aboriginal in origin and not just drawn by someone at random.
We walked down to the creek and then back taking all side tracks and circuits. It would have been better to do this walk in the reverse though I think. There were quite a few stairs. You are walking up hill most of the way back.
Navigation to some bushwalks can be difficult. Automated navigation using Google Maps or Apple Maps may not be accurate.
Additionally, Aussie Bushwalking doesn't always have accurate positions for where to park for a walk.
Please read the walk description for special directions and take extra care.
