Queen Mary Falls Circuit

Main Range National Park

From the Queen Mary Falls lookout, watch Spring Creek plunge over the 40m Queen Mary Falls to continue its twisting journey down the valley floor to join the Condamine River. On a summer's day take time to pause for a moment to feel the waterfall's cool spray.
There are often water dragons sunbaking on rocks around the valley floor and the track goes through plenty of ferns and native Australian trees.

Getting There:

From Boonah (64km) take the Boonah/Rathdowney Road south before turning right into Carneys Creek Road and right again into The Head Road, which becomes  Spring Creek Road.

From Killarney (11km) take Acacia Street onto Border Road and then turn left into Spring Creek Road.

The approach from Boonah is very steep and should be travelled with care. It is unsuitable for caravans.

Route/Trail Notes:

Circuit can be walked either way, one section includes a lot of steps.  If it has been very wet in the area, the area at the bottom can become slippery as a mist from the falls covers this area.

Do not attempt to cross when in flood or if water covers the causeway.

Permits/Costs:

None

Other References/Comments:

Picnic tables, wood-fired barbecues and free electric barbecues, toilets are provided.

For safety reasons the track is closed following periods of heavy rainfall due to potential rock falls.

Nice easy walk. Do clockwise so that you do not have to climb up the stairs on the way back. Falls are majestic. Best done after rains.

A fantastic walk, we've done it a number of times and have also taken a group of senior students.

Nice easy walk. We did this after heavy rain which just added to the power of the falls.

We went clockwise for this walk, and I'd recommend that. There are a lot of stairs in that section. The falls are beautiful, and the birdlife was everywhere. Really a worthwhile walk.

Nice walk we did at sunset. If you're coming from Boonah there are heaps of lookouts on the drive to the falls that are worth stopping at.

Be on the look out for Koalas near the entry and exit points
