Overview
Cedar Creek Falls are a must-see Aussie Bucket List natural attraction when visiting the Mount Tamborine section of the Gold Coast Hinterland, in south-east Queensland.
Cedar Creek Falls Lookout – a short and easy 500m return hike to the lookout.
This flat bitumen track from the car park to the lookout is suitable for strollers and assisted wheelchair access. The lookout at the end of the walk offers very nice views of the waterfalls, cascades and a series of rock pools popular with swimmers. This walking track is ideally suitable for the young, the elderly and the disabled, providing spectacular waterfall scenery within a very short walking distance.
Cedar Creek Falls Rock Pools - a 900m return hike from the Cedar Creek Falls lookout, allow about 30 to 40 minutes, moderate grade track with lots of stairs.
The walking track provides access to Cedar Creek and some of its spectacular cascades, waterfalls and rock pools.
Please note that NO glass containers are allowed past the viewing platform, and observe the regulatory notices warning of slippery rocks, steep cliffs and “no go” areas close to the falls.
