Starting from the Yellow Pinch Carpark on Upper Logan Road, Mount Barney, this return walk takes you to the Cronan Creek Falls and swimming hole, passing by two campsites along the way. Expect a secluded little swimming hole in a beautiful rainforest setting. Continue along the creekbed to find the hidden waterfall that is best viewed after decent rainfall. The interchanging vegetation is home to many wild animals, from House(Red) Finches and butterflies to wallabies and lace monitors. You’ll also be able to view Mt Lindesay and Mt Barney from the start. Keep in mind that recent rains can raise the water level and up the difficulty of the track. 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.
