Starting from the intersection of Witches Chase and Colville Drive, Tamborine Mountain, this walk takes you to the Witches Falls Lookout and back via the Witches Chase Track, exploring the woodland of Tamborine National Park along the way. A beautiful rainforest hike that lets you focus on the environment around you, this little undemanding journey is quite worthwhile. The Witches Falls is best viewed after recent rainfall, although the scenery alone is tempting enough. Keep an ear out for the Albert’s Lyrebirds as you make your way under the dense rainforest canopy. If you’re lucky, you may even see a koala chilling on a tree. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
