Itinerary description

The first part of the hike is relatively easy, it will take you to Westray's Grave. This historical burial site is where one of the famous 1937 Stinson plane crash survivors, who died trying to hike out, is buried.
From there, the path is not clear and involves bush bashing and rock hoping. After the grave, take the left branch of the creek and follow it to the falls.

Getting there: Follow Christmas Creek Road all the way to the end, just south of Beaudesert. At some point the road becomes unsealed and it would not be recommended to venture on a low clearance vehicle. The car park at the end is quite small.

Only do this hike if you are experienced and well prepared
