Hi everyone.

This is a stunning walk. This loop circuit is approx 4.3km, with a 150 metre descent / ascent into a gully. There are spectacular Cliffs and waterfalls into a canyon with lush rainforest and cliff crevices to explore for the kids. The walk starts at the head of the canyon with spectacular views right out to Surfers Paradise on the Coast, and you walk across the top of the canyon & down into the Gully with numerous large waterfalls & pools that you walk under & behind.

It's not a hard walk and beginners would be fine as long as steps are OK, but be aware that there are small parts at the start of the track where you are walking along the edge of large cliffs and at the top of large waterfalls, and younger kids would want to be closely supervised on these parts. (Just holding hands through these parts would be fine for the younger ones) I am hoping to get lots of photos, so it will not be a rushed trip.

The URL Below shows some photos from the walk I found on the net.

I'm guessing 90% of you are coming via the M1 Freeway & via Nerang so I think we can have 2 meeting Points.

Point 1 - Just inside the Dreamworld Carpark in Coomera @ 9:15am for a 9:30am (sharp) Departure. We can then drive down in a convoy.

It is approximately a 1 hours drive from there,and the second meetup point for those that want to meet us there is meet at the Canyon lookout Carpark @ from 10:45 for a 11:00am walk commencment.

There are spectacular views form the car park accross to Twin Falls & Down towards the Gold Coast.

Directions are on the link below for those who want to make thier own way

    Hi Cara. Because a lot of the people in this group are families, and also because we have members from the Gold Coast to the Sunshine Coast, there has only been minor amounts of car pooling happening to date as they are families all coming from different directions to events. If you want to car pool, or need lift, then post it to the mailing list, and I'm sure somthing will happen! Hope to see you at the Twin Falls walk.

    Hi guys. I am new to this site so I'm not very familiar how everything goes. With the transport, do we normally car pool?
