Cedar Creek Falls is located in Tamborine National Park. This popular walking destination is only an hours drive from the centre of Brisbane.
The walk is from the top of the falls to a large swimming hole at the bottom. The cascades over the rocky cliffs are one of the many natural beauties in the Tamborine area.
Great Family Walking Trail For The Family
This is a great walking spot for the family as the terrain isn’t too difficult. We took our time, stopping to appreciate the view, and managed to do a round trip in under 40 mins.
There are not a lot of parking spaces available. We visited on Agust 11th, during border closures, so it was very quiet. I can imagine once interstate and international tourism resumes, there may be a wait to get a park.
Toilets, Barbecues & Picnic Tables
There are toilets, barbecues and lots of seating available. Beyond the car park there are large grass areas which can be used for picnics and the kids to have a run around on.
Wheelchair Access
Wheelchair access is available via a boardwalk to get to the top lookout and enjoy the views of the waterfall. I don’t know that you would be able to get to the bottom as the pathway is very worn and doesn’t look suitable.
I recommend you bring some hand sanitiser as national park toilets generally don’t have a supply of soap. Now that we have COVID safety advice, we use refillable clip-on bottles for the kid’s backpacks.
Beautiful In Winter
The air is crisp during winter and the water is a bit chilly to swim in, but still well worth a visit for some fresh air & exercise.
On our way home, we stopped in at the Bearded Dragon Hotel. The saloon-style hotel had a small playground, along with Alpacas and Goats which could be fed and patted through an enclosure.
