Gardner's Falls, Maleny, QLD.

Gardner's Falls

Gardner's Falls is worth a visit any time of the year and is a popular nature based swimming area in the summer. From the car park there is a pleasant walk alongside Obi Obi Creek for about 700 m passing a series of small cascades. Several picnic tables are placed on the shady side of the walk.

Cascades along Obi Obi Creek

We're always on the lookout for any wildlife and despite the busy time of year we weren't disappointed. 

Juvenile Eastern Water Dragon and Scarlet Percher.

We saw quite a few Spangled Drongos and watched them chase away a Pacific Baza.
