Highlights

The Cream Track is 5.3 kilometres long and runs from the heights of Springbrook Plateau to the lowlands of Tallebudgera Valley. Meandering past working cattle farms and banana plantations the track traverses through rainforest, creek crossings, wet and dry eucalypt forests.

This challenging track rewards walkers with views from the mountains to the coast. Challenge brings other benefits too − with fewer visitors, areas along the track remain largely undisturbed and have an abundance of wildlife.

Gorge Falls can be found approximately 2.2km along this track from the end of Tallebudgera Creek Road, however the falls are difficult to find. Going off the Cream Track is at your own risk and navigational preparation is recommended.

You will come to a fork in the track, with some steep steps up to the right (sign posts will guide you to go up the steps). To get to Gorge Falls, do not go up the steps, continue walking straight along the track. You will then get to a fork in the creek, take the creek to the left and continue to scramble over the rocks until you reach Gorge Falls. Allow at least 1.30 minutes to get to Gorge Falls. We found the way back is much quicker as you know where you are going on the way back.

The rest of the Cream Track passes through Serenity Farm, a private property whereby a permit is required to traverse this upper section of the trail. Lawful access to the private property portions of the Cream Track (Lot 1 and Lot 3 on SP180551) has been temporarily granted by the property owner Realcal Pty Ltd. This is contingent upon walkers:

• obtaining a permit from The Cream Track.
• carrying a printed copy of the permit on their person at all times.
• restricting the time and date of their walk in accordance with the time frame specified in the valid permit; and
• accepting all of the conditions of the permit as detailed therein, including the use of the pathogen control stations deployed at either end of the track.

The Cream Track is challenging when attempting from either direction with many steep sections and creek crossings. Previous bushwalking experience and a moderate to high level of fitness are recommended for this trail. Walk with a partner or group and take:

• drinking water
• insect repellent
• sturdy shoes
• GPS and or compass.
