Kondalilla National Park

Great place for a day out and a decent walk. Decent size car park which can get busy on a hit day with those want to dip into the rock pool. Picnic area has a number of seating areas as well as 2 BBQ pits of which at least one is electric. Well kept toilet block with soap available. The longer Kondalilla Falls Circuit starts via the upper circuit at the wooden stairs and will take you past a lookout before reaching the Rock Pools. Check out the sizable lungfish (!) in the water before heading further down via the steps and the switchback path. There's a lookout a short distance down the bottom-beaded path. The bottom pool was pretty sad looking given it's currently a drought so hardly much of a falls at the time we went. There's a large amount of boulders you can climb over at the bottom to reach the falls itself, these could be quite slippery in the wet. Return by continuing along the circuit rather than doubling back and the path back seems surprisingly much easier and with fewer steps. You will return back to the Rock Pools from the opposite side before making your way back up the original path from the Rock Pools but along the lower pathway to reach the car park again.

This is a great place to visit, especially if it is pretty hot and humid, as it tends to be a little cooler here than in the suburbs or city.

The walks are very easy to do, and lead to a great swimming hole to cool off. The Picnic Creek Circuit is 1.7km or about 20 min walk and with plenty to areas and walks to explore, its a perfect place to escape Brisbane to.

Very nice national park! Hike to the waterfall is a bit challenging, but in the rainforest there's always something to see. Reward yourself with a nice swim, the water is refreshing. You can also jump from the rocks, be carefull though.

Beautiful lookout on the way to the rock pools where lots of people were jumping into the water or having a picnic. Easy walk that took an hour and a bit return (with a two year old)
Toilets are at the start of the walk and no dogs are allowed

Beautiful walk. Make sure you get there early as the falls swimming area fills up with people quick.

Loved this walk amazing views and the track isn't that difficult my 4 year old daughter did the whole walk

The circuit walk is great exercise! For a mountain/bush hike, the path is well maintained. Some level of fitness is required. Really pretty picnic area at the start of the walk, and the rock pools are a short walk. Highly recommend!

Was a nice walk. It demonstrates how different the temperatures of the forest is, when walking from the car park into the forest it drops a few degrees in temperature. Then from the forest to the look out it goes back up again. The tracks are well maintained with concrete stairs where required. We only made it to the swimming hole which there is a big eel there :O

Great walk, wild swim spot, lush tropical forest, worth visiting

This is a truly spectacular walk.
1. Get there early for a park.
2. Walk anti-clockwise around the waterfall loop track. It's an easier walk on the joints.
3. Take care if it's damp, some of the steps could be slippery.
4. Take your time and enjoy the views.

It is a great place to see nature, you will have the opportunity to get until a natural pool and have such nice views

Lovely walk through the forest to a great swimming hole and lookout. Great views.

Absolutely stunning walk through the forest down to the falls. You might meet a few goannas and a very friendly lung fish 😊 And definitely hug a big old red gum along the trek as they have the most beautiful energy 💚

Beautiful walk, and even better when you reach the rock pool ! There is a friendly big eel there that loves a bread or biscuit snack

Wow quite a walk, 1.3km, but well worth it. It's beautiful and very refreshing. Quite deep and perhaps better when it's not too hot as the walk back is a trek. Nice facilities on the way back to the car Park.

Really well set out walking trails, although could do with some more signs. I started walking down the track past the rock pool but turned around after 15 mins as there's no signals indicating where the track goes, how long it is, etc. The tracks to the waterfall lookout and rockpool are pretty easy, and the scenery is lovely.

A lovely national park that's easy to get to. We went on a Sunday morning and it was very busy, the carpark got full pretty quickly. Lots of people enjoying the walks and families there for a picnic in the picnic area. Nice facilities and walking trails are fairly well signposted. Have been here a few times now and will definitely be back again in the future

Absolutely stunning, get there early to avoid the crowds and get a parking spot close to the trail head. Amenities were clean and the track was well marked out. Managed to get some stunning photos. The lower tracks to the base of the Falls is currently closed due to flood damage and I can't wait to go back to see the rest.

I can’t even express how much I loved this place! You have to follow some trails to reach different waterfalls. If you want to swim there is a nice swimming spot near a small waterfall and you have to walk all the way up and on the way you’ll see splendid lookouts on the forest. It’s simply amazing. When you reach the swimming spot make sure you follow the small river that goes out of the natural pool because there you can sit directly close to the main waterfall that you can observe from the other trail down there. Basically you can sit on the 90 meters high waterfall and touch the water ! It’s An amazing experience. From there you can walk all the way down to the bottom of the waterfall and also that area is amazing with lots of smaller waterfalls Also there are some really special trees and the light is unbelievable!
