Explore the Barker Creek Circuit

The Bunya Mountains is chock full of delightful walks, and the Barker Creek Circuit is a popular and achievable one, with lots of options to choose from. You can start this scenic track either from Dandabah Picnic Area or the Paradise Falls car park, and it’s a must-do for waterfall lovers. Along the track you’ll encounter Paradise Falls, Little Falls and the Big Falls 122m drop, which is a spectacular sight after heavy rain. The trail then links in with the Scenic Circuit track, or you can choose to add an extra 1.5km to the walk (750m each way) to take in the Big Falls Lookout and Barker’s Creek Gorge. For an extra 1km, choose the alternate Pine Gorge Lookout and Festoon Falls route instead of the shorter Tim Shea Falls section of the Scenic Circuit. Whatever way you go, take a picnic lunch and your water bottle and enjoy this outstanding walk.

It's bunya nut time!

It’s the most iconic time of the year at the Bunya Mountains – bunya nut time! These giant edible pinecones, which can sometimes weigh up to 10kg, are ripening and falling across the Bunya Mountains, with loud crashing sounds often being heard under the trees. This ancient food source has been long beloved by the local indigenous people, and was even once food for dinosaurs many eons ago! The birds and animals are enjoying the feast, but we’ve managed to find plenty to use in the café as well to make our delicious bunya burgers and other scrumptious delicacies! It’s a great time of year to visit – just make sure you don’t stand or park under the bunya pines, as the nuts can drop without warning!

Dear visitors

There will be a planned mountain-wide power outage on Tuesday 20nd February between 8am and 2pm

This will affect ALL HOUSES and facilities on the Bunya Mountains.

Water pumps will not work, so this will mean no water to the houses

Please plan by showering the night before, putting a bucket of water by the toilet to flush, and a jug of water in the fridge.

Your best bet is to go out for the day, eg to Dalby or Kingaroy, for breakfast and other facilities

We apologise for the intense inconvenience. Ergon just does what they want to, unfortunately :(
