Itinerary description

This is a great day hike with rainforest, waterfalls , a fun rock scramble with awesome views( not for those with a fear of heights and exposure!!!), swimming hole, and a rewarding views of Springbrook Canyon , all the way to Gold Coast.

Start at Tallabana Picnic ground, follow Warrie circuit signposting, take first detour to Twin Falls, go via cave, then return via creek to rejoin Warrie Circuit . Continue along track till about the 6k, the track will do a sharp left. You will see a track that goes straight ahead, with logs across it( refer photo waypoint). Also a tree that has an arrow on it. Go to the track to the right. The track is roughly 2k return. It is worn, but overgrown in areas. But plenty of ribbons to help out if unsure. The last 30mtrs is the climb. Not hard, but VERY exposed and small footholds with sheer drops eitherside.
Be confident with your abilities , as coming down is always different, to going up!!
Return via same track and rejoin Warrie Circuit. Great swimming hole at Gommooloara Falls, which is about 10 mins up from Meeting of the Waters junction..Follow track till next junction of Twin Falls. Take Canyon Lookout track, this will continue up and follow the ridgeline back to Tallabana Carparpark . Awesome views all the way back .

    Warrie circuit is a beautiful walk. The track to the pinnacle was over grown and a little difficult to follow. Not recommended if rain and wind is around as very exposed on the pinnacle.
