Itinerary description
warrie circuit would have to be one of, if not the best waterfall walk in SEQ. In addition you can easily visit The Pinnacle which offers 360 degree views of Springbrook NP, and even views out to the Gold Coast. The final scramble up The Pinnacle could be classed as difficult but it is only very short, hence why I graded the walk Moderate. The path out to The Pinnacle can be a bit indistinct at times but the route is straight forwards and very difficult to get lost on. If you loose the path simply retrace your steps till you find it again.
Warrie circuit is an easy walk which is advertised as 17km but my gps tells me it was only 13km so go figure. Take your time and enjoy the waterfalls and scenic terrain. If you are looking at going for a swim Gooroolba Falls is your best bet. The meeting of the waters is definitely worth visiting but it doesn't offer much in the way of swimming opportunities.

Warrie Circuit is not maintained as well as other Springbrook trails. There is a lot of vegetation over the paths and when it is wet this leads to serious leech problems. I do not have an issue with leeches but I did this circuit in Jan 2017, covered from head to toe in waterproofs and came back with 40 leech adhesions. They were even finding their way through the seams on my trousers. Some idiot has also scratched out the centres of the map guides that are placed at significant points on the route, so take care especially at the falls end of the trail.
The route is 17.5 K according to my Fenix 3, checked in both directions.
I can confirm I had the same leech issues when I did the walk myself!
