Starting from the Maiala Picnic Area off Mt. Glorious Road, Mount Glorious, this walk takes you to the Greenes Falls via the Rainforest Circuit and Greenes Falls tracks, exploring the dense forests of D'aguilar National Park. The journey towards the waterfall is filled with interesting wildlife and gorgeous trees, and the overall experience of being in a rainforest that feels ‘alive’ is well worth the time you’ll spend. You may come across pademelons carrying their cute little babies in their pouches, along with some wallabies and Australian logrunners. The peculiar sounds of eastern whipbirds and the mysterious-looking strangler figs make this a truly distinct walk. Come after some decent rainfall to see the cascades and the waterfall flow fiercely through this already beautiful environment. Remember to leave your pets at home. 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.
