Tamborine Mountain, Tamborine National Park, QLD.

In June 2019 we spent a pleasant morning exploring three areas in Tamborine Mountain, QLD.

Cedar Creek Falls section of Tamborine National Park.

Cedar Creek Falls Track: 500 meters return to lookout, 900 meters return to rock pools, Easy Grade.

Swimming is allowed in some of the pools.

Swimming is not allowed in the top pools.
Of the three areas we visited, this was the busiest. We parked in the last available car park. There are quite a few picnic tables so we were still able to indulge in one of our favourite pastimes.
