Description
Walk down through the tall open forest dominated by towering forest red gums and brush box to subtropical rainforest in the gorge. Your first view of the spectacular Queen Mary Falls is a delightful surprise.
The waterfall drops 40 metres over the glistening basalt rock to the gorge below. As you cross Spring Creek, you walk through a fine mist spray from the waterfall. Look for the small eastern water dragons sunbaking on the rocks or spiny cray around the rockpools.
Climb steadily back up to the picnic area, passing through open forest with flowering banksia shrubs and wattles, casuarinas and a ferny understorey.
