Starting from the car park off Spring Creek Road, this circuit walk takes you to the Cliff Lookout atop Queen Mary Falls via the Cliff Circuit track. Short but sweet, you’ll be enjoying the view of the 40 metres waterfall in no time. Take your time and appreciate the scenery as you listen to the water gush down the vertical rock face. The sunset makes the view even more magical, if you have the time. There are picnic tables and BBQs provided near the start if you’d like to have a scenic meal in nature. The track can be quite busy, come early to avoid the crowd and have a more secluded experience. Take extra care around the cliff edges and keep an eye on children at all times. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
