Twin Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

Twin Falls is a pair of cascades dropping into a rock pool, framed by sheer cliffs and lush rainforest. The circuit track passes directly behind the falls, allowing close views of the cascade and surrounding gorge walls. The flow varies seasonally, but the falls remain one of Springbrook’s most photographed features.

The Pinnacle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Reaching The Pinnacle means leaving the maintained Warrie Circuit for a rough, sometimes heavily overgrown route through the rainforest. Navigation can be difficult, even where ribbons mark parts of the way, and the final approach involves steep scrambling onto an exposed rocky outcrop. The reward is a wide view across the surrounding ranges, but only attempt the summit with suitable experience, sturdy footwear and reliable offline navigation.

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.

Blackfellows Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

Blackfellows Falls is a tall, thin cascade that drops into a steep, forested gorge along the track. The waterfall is most often viewed from a dedicated lookout, which frames the vertical drop against the cliff face. Surrounded by subtropical forest, it’s an impressive highlight of the walk.
