Comments

It was nice and sunny as we headed off, down the track 300 meters in, it started raining. This is an example of how rapidly the conditions can change on Tamborine so be prepared. Firstly we went to the Witches falls lookout. The view west is becoming overgrown by many eucalypt trees growing up. And from the lookout the view of the falls are also starting to become obsecured by a palm tree.

ONLY ATTEMPT IF YOU HAVE GOOD NAVIGATIONAL SKILLS AND ARE SELF SUFFICENT.(carry a rope and be very well prepared)

If your prepared to go off track great views from the bottom of the falls are well worth it.

NOTICE: The Witches falls circuit is closed due to landslide and trees from previous storms. ONLY travel along this track if you are well prepared.

On the way back up a scrub turkey lead us all the way to the cemetary !

Great track to see just after it's rain. Watch out it can get really muddy though.

Did this walk during the dry season and the falls were a disappointment. Nice walk though. My kids found giant snail shells.
