호주 주변 최고의 폭포 하이킹 & 워킹 코스

Kondalilla Falls is an impressive waterfall in Kondalilla National Park where Skene Creek plunges roughly 90 metres into a steep rainforest gorge. The cascade flows over dark rock ledges before continuing through the forested valley below, and is worth capturing a few memorable photos any time of the year. Surrounded by dense subtropical rainforest, the beautiful falls are one of the most well-known natural features of the Sunshine Coast hinterland.

Goroolba Falls' cold water flows down dark volcanic rock into the creek below. It is not as tall as Twin Falls or Rainbow Falls, but it feels remote, and it breaks up the long Warrie Circuit.

The Kondalilla Falls Circuit Track is a well-signposted loop track that features more than 300 stairs, lush subtropical vegetation, lookouts, rock pools, and an 80-metre waterfall viewpoint, making it a rewarding but moderately strenuous walk of roughly 2–3 hours. The route is well known for its varied scenery, from eucalypt slopes to dense forest and cool creekside sections, and is a highlight of the park’s day walks.

The Rock Pools are natural swimming holes formed on Skene Creek near the falls, where cool water collects in smooth rock basins. These picturesque pools, often referred to locally as the “swimming hole”, are a favourite resting spot in warmer weather and provide a refreshing break along the walk. Accessible just off the main track, the rock pools are surrounded by lush rainforest vegetation.

Peer thought the trees to Rainbow Falls as water cascades over the basalt overhang into a pool below. For the most impressive view, take a walk behind the waterfall to see it from the back, under the overhang.

Maui-Chun Falls has a pretty spectacular drop, and falls from a ledge high above. It is most impressive after some rain.

Picnic Creek Circuit is a popular walking trail of about 4 kilometres that loops through rainforest, open forest and along Picnic Creek, with a mix of shaded creekside sections and elevated ridge views. The track generally takes 1.5–2.5 hours to complete, with several footbridges, rock steps and occasional scenic outlooks, making it suitable for moderately experienced bushwalkers. Along the way, you can enjoy diverse subtropical vegetation and a peaceful creek environment, both great examples of the beautiful natural character of Kondalilla National Park’s lower slopes.

Gooroolba is the Aboriginal word for “deep”, and Gooroolba Falls flows into a deep pool of water below. Though it may seem inviting on a hot day, swimming is now allowed here.
