creek flows out of the northern slopes of the Tabletop
Range. A walk follows the creek up towards the secondary
plateau for 1.8 kilometres. Eight camping sites
have been established along the creek at suitable
rock holes. A toilet is provided near campsite 6.
Swimming is allowed at the campsites. Even if you
are not camping this is a great walk with its many
swimming spots along the creek. Camp fees apply

You
can spend from 3 hrs to a full day here. Walker
Creek walk: 1.8 km one way, 3.6 km return: 2 hours
return; Moderate: Starting from the car park the
walk follows the creek for 600 metres to the first
camp site at Rocky Falls. Campsites at swimming
holes have been established approx every 200 metres
along the creek. A toilet is provided on the walk
near Campsite 6. A day use area is established at
campsite 6. You may use any of the swimming areas
unless people are using the campsite-please respect
their privacy. This
is one of those places that you normally hear about
later from someone who says “did you go to this
place, it was the best.” Well now you can be the
one to say to fellow travellers down the track that
you have been somewhere special. If you are not
one of the lucky ones camping here you return to
the car park. The picnic area at the car park is
under the shade of the trees growing along the creek.
A toilet is provided in the car park. |
