SUNDAY ADVENTURE: Conondale National Park, Booloumba Falls walk (3km return)
Head to the hinterland for the day and walk to the absolutely stunning Booloumba Falls, one of the highlights of the Conondale Range Great Walk.
This walk is suitable for walkers with some experience. Dogs are not permitted in this state government national park.
By the time you reach the Booloumba Falls carpark, you’re at 500m above sea level. Take a short but very beautiful downhill walk to the falls, cascading past a rock pinnacle nicknamed the breadknife for its serrated razor formation. It’s probably the most impressive part of the Conondale Range Great Walk complete with a great lookout, bubbling brook and sublime swimming holes along the way (albeit a little too cold to actually swim in right now). Please click image for google map link and more info.
