Take the easy Maddens Falls walk to the lookout for a view of the waterfall dropping from Maddens Creek to the pools below.
The short and easy walking track is a great one for walking with children. It’s also ideal for birdwatchers so don’t forget your binoculars – look for local residents like honeyeaters, red wattlebirds and golden whistlers. Tree frogs, brown froglets and banjo frogs are often heard too, walk quietly to increase your chances of spotting wildlife.
When you reach the falls, admire picturesque vegetation at the falls’ base. Colourful with acacias, native river roses and lush, sprawling ferns, it’s a pretty place to visit during spring when the flowers are out or in April when the falls will be at their fullest. See if you can spot the rare fern-leaf grevillea with its red toothbrush like flowers.
