Cape Byron Walking Track

Hiking Trails
Cape Byron Walking Track is a 3.7 km loop that takes about 2 hours to complete, offering stunning ocean views, a historic lighthouse, and opportunities to spot wildlife such as dolphins and whales during their migration season from May and August through October. The track passes through coastal rainforest, along cliffs, and provides panoramic coastal views.
Fantastic walk and the views at sunrise do not disappoint! Just make sure you park in a designated parking spot as even before 7am, there was a parking ranger there slapping tickets on cars parked illegally... also, there's a sign that says "most eastern point of mainland Australia, but you can keep walking down on the track to get to and what feels like more of an eastern platform. Overall great morning walk. Lots of steps going up and down so if you're not great with them stick with the footpath of road leading up to the lighthouse only.

This walking track is a wonderful experience for nature lover. If you are visiting during July - November you can enjoy seeing whales and dolphins from the view points there. The place is clean and have drinking water facilities and washrooms too. You can reach the most easterly point of Australia mainland from the walking track. View of the ocean is amazing. I had a wonderful time there, watching waves and listening to bird songs..❤️

Just beautiful. The loop is 3,6km or 4,2 if you do the last little bit in trail. Obviously touristy, but we did in winter with good weather and not many people were there. Just at the lighthouse was a bit more, but still extremely enjoyable. Definitely worth it. We spotted many whales and dolphins
Nerea H — Google review
Sensational. Absolutely sensational. Oh… it was a bloody challenge and not for those with knee or back issues but it was a GREAT walk! Dragged 4 kids along who managed the walk we did from ‘The Pass’ to the lighthouse and back. Many steps. Steep gradients. Lots of chairs and rest stop areas along the way. Very glad we did it if only this section. Saw lizards, koalas, and whales!!!!!!!!
Corrie B — Google review
We walked the Cape Byron Walking track circuit, starting at the Palm Valley carpark. The track up to the most easterly point and the lighthouse hugs the coastline. The track is fully paved and concreted up to the Lighthouse, with steps and some steep inclines. There are many places to stop and catch your breath if needed. We experienced incredible views and we lost count of the amount of whales frolicking in the waters, near and a far. There is a small cafe at the top and toilets as well. On the way back we continued on to the Tallow Ridge track. This track is not paved and whilst the views are not out to the ocean, the rainforest is beautiful to walk through. There are stairs, as well as flat bush tracks. This part of the track could be a little slippery in the wet. A much quieter track and a beautiful walk. The Tallow Ridge track may be a little hard for smaller children due to the steepness of some of the stair heights.
Helen F — Google review
We enjoyed the Cape Byron Walking Track. The views were stunning, and the path was well-kept and easy to follow. I stopped at a few lookouts and just soaked it all in. A great spot for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy some amazing ocean scenery.

A beautiful sea view walk. Make sure you look out for the dolphins or whales that I believe swim around the bays. I saw some cool wildlife and the views from the lighthouse are beautiful. It’s a bit of a difficult walk and contains some steep stairs but worth it if you can manage.
Anya — Google review
For those new to the area, pay no attention to the "Open/Closed" indicator within Google Maps for this location!! It's simply a very nice and well maintained coastal track with great views and without entrance gates -- so it's always open! It even has a very nice (unexpected) cafe along the track called "The Pass Cafe"!

Cafe
The Cape Byron Lighthouse, standing proudly at Australia's most easterly point for over a century, is a majestic sight to behold. After taking in the breathtaking views from the lighthouse, visitors can take a leisurely stroll to the nearby Cape Byron Lighthouse Cafe and National Parks and Wildlife office. The cafe offers a welcome respite from the hot weather, where one can indulge in refreshing ice cream while browsing through the National Parks and Wildlife store.
Friendly lady serving, she made a great coffee , they have Bonsoy milk for my liking on a plant based diet, not easy to find. Nice display of food, cold drinks and ice cream, but didn't try those on this occasion as was on a morning trek not ready for food. They take CASH 💵I was impressed! It also can be a hard option to find in places these days. Location of course is breathtaking nature, so nice that after a big hill climb a cafe is located here views, coffee, food its a great package 😊 Thankyou to owner for response🙏🏻, definitely visiting you again✨️

Nice little cafe with a good cuppa. We had a ham cheese tomato croissant that was quite good and a carrot cake that was pretty tasty. Now what makes this place special is quite obviously the view. One of the most iconic views in Australia. Beautiful. You have to be quite lucky to get parking g but it is available. Very nice that they have the tables outside to enjoy the view. Nice touch.
The H — Google review
The views from this lighthouse are definitely worth the 8 dollars we paid for parking. You get a full 360° of amazing scenery and there is a lovely little hill walk too. The coffee shop is delightful too! They do fresh gelato ice cream which is exactly what you need to cool down after the walk.

Absolutely beautiful! The food was delicious and the coffee was AMAZING. seriously the best coffee in Byron bay and such a reasonable price. The manager Sian and her sister are absolutely beautiful and so kind. Love that they are a family ran business and locals! Their sister cafe is also The Pass Cafe which I can not wait to try. 1000/10 the best cafe!
Loraine S — Google review
The redeeming feature of this cafe is the spectacular views! The coffee, latte and scone were mediocre. The staff were friendly and the service was prompt. The car park attendant was quite rude and officious. It would be good for the frontline person to be friendly and welcoming.
Hans-Joachim R — Google review
Walked up with my water bottle, immediately told to go outside to fill it up which is fine but one of the ladies working, I could not understand what she was saying and she was pointing around the corner (the water fountain was straight ahead). Then I finally realised where she meant and heard the other lady say “open your eyes” and they both laughed….. SORRY but I could’ve found it quicker if your coworker wasn’t babbling while speaking and had just given me clear direction. Got annoyed at me when it was her coworkers fault that I started to go the wrong way. I work in hospitality I know how frustrating it can get especially when a customer can’t find something but I’d never say something rude like that out loud in front of them. So rude! Also I was planning on grabbing something to eat but nevermind! Maybe next time you go to talk poorly about or to a customer keep your voice down😁

Popped in for a quick snack and beverage when viewing the lighthouse. Surprisingly…. Wasn’t expensive, had great food and the view is just sensational! Strong recommend from me!!!
Michael M — Google review
Sensational views. Chance of spotting dolphins and whales. Sunrise is a must. Moderate walk up there. Not really much parking available (cost involved) so most people walk or ride half way. Nice little cafe for coffee and iceream althought staff a little rude. Free entry to actually go up and have a look from top of the lighthouse by volunteer guides.

Belongil Beach is a serene 2.5-km stretch with lifeguards available on select dates and a clothing-optional area at the north end. It offers diverse surfing conditions, from smaller waves near the shore suitable for swimming and beginners to more challenging breaks further out, popular among surfers.
We went to the dog friendly section, set up a canopy for shade high recommend and had our two little dogs with us. They loved it, very social beach for dogs and they enjoyed engaging with many others dogs. The water was warm (March) and the rolling waves were great for body surfing. The sand feels like silk. There's no toilets or shops where we were, so I suggest bring snacks, lunch and drinks with you.

Great dog beach plenty of room. Very nice community very excepting. By that i mean as a young guy wearing a g string at the beach I had no issues. I loved every second there

An expansive and stunning beach where you can take your dog off leash. The water is beautiful and very clear for the most part and the tide goes out quite far which really opens the beach up. Several parking areas and lots of beach to walk along. There's also some shaded areas on the bank which are great, although mostly limited shade on this beach. Definitely one of the better beaches in Byron Bay where you can take your dog.
Kerbray — Google review
What’s a stunning view of the ocean and sunset. Loved this beach and the fact that the caravan park was next to it where we were staying was a bonus. The kids had a great time so did I, as I finally managed to take some amazing shots and tips lapse videos on the beach. Next time I will book out one of the cabins. It’s a dog friendly beach lots of people were just sitting there and enjoying the sunset and a smoke ;)

Wow busy town and beach. It is definatly a place you need to come to early in the morning to secure parking for the day. Stunning views. For the swimmers that like to be more relaxed there is a public pool near the beach. Easy enough to take a break in one of the local businesses near buy to grab a bite to eat. Lovely laid back town with the surfy vibe.
Andrea T — Google review
Seemingly endless flat beach for relaxed walking. The sand is so comfortable for barefoot that's it's almost addictive. Lots of people walk their dogs on the beach as well.

The off leash beach is so big your fur babies will definitely be worn out when they get home. We drove 2 hours from Brisbane and our dogs were dead to the world all the way home. Two happy fur brothers

Diverted to Byron on our way to Brisbane in search of Chris Hemsworth and Matt Damon. As a Sydney boy it's exactly what I imagined it would be. After stopping at the beach for some photos (cos we're tourists so it's a must) we continued on our road trip. Sadly with no encounter of Thor or Jason Bourne. Perhaps next time.

The Farm Byron Bay

Farm
Sights & Landmarks
The Farm Byron Bay is a picturesque 32-hectare sustainable oasis just outside Byron. It's home to a community of growers and producers, along with the Three Blue Ducks restaurant, a produce store, bakery, ice-creamery, and florist. The farm is dedicated to traditional and sustainable practices and offers self-guided tours of its veggie plots and fields dotted with cattle and pigs. Guided tours are available on weekends during summer, including horseback tours.
What a beautiful, picturesque, peaceful, piece of landscape…. Filled with very farm like building, animals, plants & outdoor gardens. If you’re in the area, you must come experience some time at the farm, you have the choice of the bakery & the restaurant for a meal, indoors or outdoors, there’s also ice cream, animals, plants, a florist & lots of healthy food / supplements / drinks / timber chopping boards / merchandise / etc etc to purchase. The service is great & speedy too, we started in the restaurant however we weren’t overly excited with the lunch menu so we decided to try the bakery instead with some hot drinks. Overall, the restaurant & bakery are a bit pricey, however the food was delicious, especially the cauliflower & curry soup! The aesthetic & ambience is very pleasant, you could spend hours here just soaking up the atmosphere.

A gorgeous working farm with so much to offer. Lots of local produce, fresh cut flowers, plants, a cafe, ice creamery and restaurant on site. We visited as a couple, but so much to see for kids and families too. Lots of open green spaces, the opportunity to sign up for hands-on, educational sessions or just wander around taking it all in with a coffee. We took home a ready made meal, cheese, wine and small goods for a platter. Don't miss this, a must do in Byron.
Rebecca W — Google review
We visited over the weekend and arrived around 7:30am—already about 70% of the car park was full, so it's clearly a popular spot. We didn’t join a tour and instead wandered around the farm with our dog on-leash. The farm is well signed, making it easy to navigate on your own. There’s a great variety of farm animals, a lovely macadamia orchard, and other produce to explore. We grabbed a coffee, lemon meringue tart, Portuguese tart, ham and cheese croissant, and a jar of mixed nuts along with fresh eggs. The food was great—though prices are on the higher side, which is expected for a tourist-oriented location. The older lady at the cashier was polite and courteous. However, the younger staff around the coffee area were less helpful. I felt I was treated differently, being asked to wait outside for my order while others were clearly allowed to wait inside. It was disappointing and felt discriminatory. The service here could definitely be improved.
H L — Google review
The food was absolutely delightful. Our gluten free options tasted fresh and flavourful. Walking around The Farm, after our meal at the Three Blue Ducks, was lovely. There were so many happy chooks and cute sheep, goats, cows, and many other farm creatures.
Letitia S — Google review
Great access to animals at no charge. Ducks, chickens, goats and sheep. Farm shop, ice cream shop and restaurant prices were very steep but to be expected at a touristy hotspot. We didn't eat there or buy anything but just a place to stretch our legs on the trip from Brisbane to Byron Bay
Greg — Google review
We have visited The Farm a few times. We dined in the restaurant again and the specials were spectacular, the porchetta was delicious. The service was also outstanding. The takeaway pasteries from the bakery were a little underwhelming but overall a lovely visit. The restaurant cuisine and service was outstanding. We will be back.
Andrew M — Google review
An interesting place for dining off the busy area of Byron. Pleasant surroundings- farm style as the name indicates. Service was good, staffs were friendly and the food was delectable. Careful if you’re sitting on the outside area as you will have birds as guests.. We were there on a weekday so there was no live band.
Choo G — Google review
Perfect day out! We made our own picnic in the cafe onsite and enjoyed it at one of the picnic tables. After that we explored the farm and visited some of the farm animals. Great space for the whole family. The food is all delicious! Highly recommend!

Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre

Art gallery
Shopping
The Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre, situated in Murwillumbah, New South Wales, is a renowned regional art gallery that showcases a diverse range of art exhibitions. It features the works of talented Australian artists across various mediums and houses an extensive collection of modern and contemporary art. The gallery also includes the recreation of Margaret Olley's studio, adding a unique touch to its offerings.
Couldn’t believe it, spoiled and impressed, what a hidden gem, upon entry at first it’s very much like many other modern or contemporary galleries, beautiful, however, the views and location are stunning, and it’s no until you get to the back of the gallery and enter into a very unique and personal experience where you are faced with an almost entire house replicated with in the gallery of a famous local female artist, Margaret Olley. Entire rooms from her home have been somehow moved or relocated or something into the gallery and, it’s hard to explain but definitely a must see for any one, young, old and indifferent. Thank you for this experience, amazing!!!! Plenty of parking, cafe and picnic areas, interesting and incredible experience. Wheelchair accessible with elevators etc and drive direct to doors on both sides, cafe also.
Andrew B — Google review
Such a beautiful gallery, we accidentally found it. I have wanted to visit Margaret Olley Gallery since it opened in 2014. I wasn't disappointed at all. The essence of Margaret Olley is presented well here, and one can feel Margaret Olley in her rooms.
Maria K — Google review
If I could give this gallery 10 stars I would. We went on a Sunday morning and joined the 11.30am tour with Hella. Wonderfully comprehensive, starting with Margaret Olley’s house recreation. And going on to a curated wall including a Monet and 3 Margaret Olley originals! A Monet in Murwillumbah! You can even buy a book bag with this on it. Fantastic gallery, incredible views, great location, and it’s free. Take a jumper, it’s absolutely freezing in the gallery and you won’t want to rush through as there’s so much to see. We went to Murwillumbah for lunch afterwards, I’d recommend you check the open times if you have a particular cafe in mind, we got caught out being a Sunday afternoon. I’ve seen the Margaret Olley Archibald Prize winning portrait when it was at GOMA in Brisbane, but now it feels like she has made her way to her rightful home at the Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre. Highly, highly recommend. I’ll be going back.

Visited for the first time. Fantastic regional gallery. The replica of Margaret Olley’s Paddington home was really interesting and gave an insight into this Aussie character. Well worth a visit!

Purling Brook Falls, located in Springbrook National Park, is a must-visit for nature enthusiasts. The park boasts the Best Of All Lookout, offering stunning views of the subtropical rainforest and the peak of Mt Warning. This UNESCO World Heritage site features an Antarctic Beech forest from the Gondwanaland era. The falls themselves are a sight to behold as they plunge 100m into a lushly forested base without making contact with the cliffs.
Amazing hike through nature! I did the full 8km walk in around 3.5 hours. The waterfall is about halfway and it’s stunning – I even swam in the super cold, fresh water. A peaceful and refreshing experience. Highly recommend!
Mohamed K — Google review
Lovely views with a nice 4km circuit hike from the lookout to the bottom of the falls. I was a bit worried there won't be water since we haven't had rain for a while. Still very happy to witness the beauty of this falls. Highly recommended!
Sheila Y — Google review
Such a lovely, easy, safe, bush walk, passing through the bottom of a spectacular waterfall. You can swim in the rock pool at the bottom of you like but best not to fit preservation of the natural eco system. Then you continue on the parth which perfectly takes you straight back to the car park. One leg is shorter than the other, so you can shorten the whole journey by choosing the short leg to get there, and returning by the same route. There are lots of stairs the short leg, but they are not hard to negotiate even for low level fitness. Several look ours along the way. Takes about an hour if you don't stop and dawdle too much but allow 2 hrs so you can relax and enjoy the walk, it more of you stop for a swim and a snack at the bottom. My photos don't do it justice as we went after a bit of drought. Usually much more water going over the top.
Nicole W — Google review
Really liked this walk. Was mostly a sloped slow decent. The water. Fall was nice and would have loved to go for a swim. Best to do the loop clockwise for ease. I did it anti-clickwise and then read the instructions/suggestion to do the other.

Lovely 4km hike. Fantastic views, trails filled with life and a great swimming spot if you dare to face the shivers. Lots of fallen trees on the trails that are carved back to ensure accessibility, I deeply appreciate how well the trails are cared for. On this hike you really do get it all, seeing the marvellous waterfall from below and above was captivating. Perfect track, I’ll be back!

Purling Brook Falls is, without a doubt, one of the most rewarding and visually stunning hikes the Gold Coast region has to offer. The falls itself is a massive, single-drop plunge waterfall, cascading over 100 meters into a lush gorge. Just bear in mind climate change has had an impact on waterfall flow. But what makes this experience exceptional is that the circuit allows you to view the falls from a spectacular lookout at the top, hike down into the valley to stand at its misty base, and even walk behind the curtain of water itself. The trail winds through the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Gondwana Rainforest, providing a constantly changing backdrop of ancient trees, ferns, and eucalypt forest. It truly feels like stepping into a prehistoric, green world, offering a refreshing escape just an hour's drive from the bustling Gold Coast beaches. The 4km circuit is well-maintained and clearly signposted, but it is not a flat stroll. It is classified as a Grade 3 track due to the steep descent and ascent required to get into and out of the gorge. If you take the track in a clockwise direction (recommended by virtually all visitors and park signage), you will descend the estimated 450 steep, concrete steps first. This gets the heavy knee-jarring work out of the way early and means your return journey involves a much gentler, gradual incline over the suspension bridge and back up to the picnic area. Going counter-clockwise means a brutal climb up hundreds of stairs at the end. Highlights: The Lookouts: Short walks from the main parking area offer breathtaking views of the falls from the top. • The Base of the Falls: Standing in the natural amphitheater at the bottom, feeling the cooling mist on your face, is the ultimate payoff. The sheer scale of the falls from this vantage point is mesmerizing. • The Suspension Bridge: This bridge provides incredible photo opportunities, placing you right in front of the cascade before you begin the climb out. • Warringa Pool Detour: For those seeking a secluded swim, the track continues from the base of Purling Brook Falls for another 2km return (adding about 40 minutes). This leads to the quieter Warringa Pool, which is a fantastic spot to cool off, especially when crowds are at the main falls. The Purling Brook Falls Circuit is a must-do Gold Coast experience. It's a moderate workout that rewards you with views and sensations that are nothing short of magical. Plan for a half-day trip to truly soak it all in. Highly, highly recommended.

Went on the weekend and it was a great day for hiking! Loved the smell of nature and just by looking at the photos now gives me peace!! Must try if you feel like hiking! Would recommend hats and sunscreen! If you’re up for it, there’s a small pond you can jump in, take swimmers with you!

Nature & Parks
Natural Bridge, located in Springbrook National Park, is a popular attraction known for its basalt bridge and cavern formed by a cascading waterfall. The trailhead on Bakers Road provides easy access to this natural wonder. As part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area, the park features a dense subtropical rainforest with diverse fauna such as frogs and koalas.
Stunning place. Information boards on near the car park. Not a bad walk to get there but there is a number of steps to get there. Picnic area there as well as toilets. Good parking. It is well worth a visit to see the water falling into the cave below. There was mention of glow worms can be seen in the cave, I never saw any whilst I was there.

The highlight is the beautiful natural rock bridge glowing in the sunshine with a waterfall flowing gently beneath it — the water sparkles in the light and creates such a peaceful atmosphere. The walk itself is easy and scenic, surrounded by lush greenery. Plenty of parking available, making it very accessible. A truly calming and magical spot to visit.

What an absolutely breathtaking place, well worth the winding roads. The drive itself is phenomenal, the locations is amazing. It took us less than 20 minutes to do the entire walk, but we stopped and admired the views along the way. If you are wanting to do something outside of the attractions when in the Gold Coast, make sure to take the time to head up here and stop at The View cafe at Hinz Dam on your way back 😊

Lovely walk through the forest before getting to the waterfall. Saw lots of wildlife including lizards and snakes. The waterfall and cave itself were beautiful. Tip for you if you lean back over the railing and look for a hole in the ceiling you may even spot a few glow worms, even in the day. The walk was absolutely lovely and the environment was beautiful.

5 of us took a quick walk around the track here. Really nice scenery as you head down all of the stairs and across the bridge. About half way through you come across the waterfall from a few different perspectives. Really nice spot inside the cafe to admire the scenery. In all it probably took us about 45 mins, with a few stops to take everything in. No real picnic spots that we could see but there were public toilets.

Wow wow wow 😯🤗 Such an amazing place to visit Loved the water falling through the rock to the stream below. Easy walking track which is very well signed. Even saw a frilled neck lizard. Would be great at dusk to see the glow worms

Absolutely stunning short walk, with breathtaking views of the waterfall into the cave system. The walk to the falls is quite easy, with views from the top of the falls and from within the cave. Plenty of photo opportunities throughout, with the walk likely busy during peak times. Plenty of parking available, and toilet facilities near the entrance.

Great spot for an easy hike — about an hour walk, not too hard. The cave and waterfall are stunning. Watch out for carpet pythons though!

Such a great experience My first horse riding was so fun with the kind staffs. The horses are so friendly and the amazing view!!! Not only horse riding, feeding goats and cracking the whip were so much fun!
Kimmy ( — Google review
We spent a lovely day at Gummies. We booked a groupon 1/2 day horse riding tour and boomerang throwing and whip cracking. The horses were healthy and in good condition. 5 kids aged 6,7,8,9&10 and 2 adults, Gummies catered to us perfectly. Our kids had a great experience with home made damper for morning tea. Good value for money, especially for a different experience for school holidays. We spent a whole 1 hour riding, including trotting which made my kids day. It was at a slow and gentle pace which suits our kids ages and experience. The staff were chatty and welcoming.

My granddaughter loved her horse ride on Star, she is nearly 6 and was a bit frightened to ride the trail but I must say the horses there are well cared for and extremely quiet for the young and inexperienced,and Courtney reassured her that she would be ok and gave her the confidence that she could do it, don't expect any big turnout it's very basic but we will be back

Beautiful, serene, quite, wild r a few words that describe this place. Lovely horse ride thru the neighbouring woods, got to see few kangaroos in the wild. Feeding goats, milking cow, learn how to use a whip and boomerang. Loved this place. Would definitely recommend.
Kunal P — Google review
This is a wonderful experience to introduce to young people. Horse rising, cow milking, boomerang throwing, whip cracking and feeding the goats. The horses were chosen according to the person. My daughter had a placid perfectly paced horse. She was scared at the beginning ( 6 yrsold) but the guides made her feel very comfortable. It was just a genuinely nice ride. Animals were well fed. I would have given 5 stars but I really thought that the manager whilst there could have possibly made a bit more of an effort to make things a bit more tidier. I wasn’t expecting a palace as I know it’s a farm however maybe just a little better managed with the cleaning side of things.the overall appearance.

The Ballina Naval and Maritime Museum, situated in Regatta Avenue behind the Visitor Information Centre, is renowned for its main exhibit - Las Balsas, a 12-meter long balsa wood raft that completed a remarkable 178-day journey across the Pacific from Ecuador to Ballina.
Loved this naval museum. It's full of great little to big things, mostly boats and ships. I had a good read of the Ballina history, and it's very interesting. My little family enjoyed our weekend visit here.

We visited in the school holidays with our 3 kids. Ranging from 12yo-1yo. So much to see and look at. Also some interactive exhibits from scavenger hunts, knot tying and ship steering wheels and horns. You could easily spend an entire day in there just reading and learning but the bonus is it kept my kids captivated looking at all the model ships and a torpedo. So much history - we loved it.

What a fabulous place! Even if you aren't into maritime, you will find it fascinating and learn lots. They cater for kids too, with a fact finding mission. So much history, displayed so well.

Was just circling around the town and realised there is a museum around. 5 dollar entry... It's better to have cash in hand... They have a great collection of naval vessels models and useful trivia about it. A lot of captured vessels and their info too. It's definitely worth a visit.

Wow! What an amazing place to take kids to learn about all kinds of floating sea and river going vessels. My three year old grandson ate this place up! Needs repeat visits to fully absorb all there is to see. We lived all the boat models and pirate info. We will be back and at $3 entry fee it’s a great place to go on a rainy day. Some very cool & reasonably priced souvenirs are also available to buy to remember your visit. 5 stars!!

We have a great time at the museum. The staff were so welcoming and friendly, and the scavenger hunt was really fun. There were loads to look at and the boats were very detailed. We got to hold different shells and seahorses for finishing the scavenger hunt. I would definitely recommend this place. We didn't even have to wait, and the entrance fee was very cheap. It was quite cool in the museum, and we could see the ship's cabin in the olden days. It was really fun, and we hope to come back.

The Big Prawn

Mentioned on 
10 lists 
Sights & Landmarks
Landmark
The Big Prawn, a 33-foot-tall fiberglass sculpture, has been an iconic roadside attraction in Ballina since its construction in 1989. This beloved Aussie landmark is a popular spot for selfies and offers visitors the chance to grab a bite at the on-site cafe and pick up souvenirs at the gift shop.
Don't come with any expectations and you will not be disappointed. It's a big shrimp off a DIY store car park. There is no sea food store there. Just the big fibreglass crustacean- like a scene out of MiB. We spent more time contemplating why it is there than the 4 min to take the obligatory selfie. Is it because Ballina has nothing to draw people off the highway? Is it because the shrimp in Ballina are huge? (Check out the fisherman's coop 2 min drive down the road for best cooked giant shrimp). Or is it to ward off evil oceanic spirits? More questions than answers. Finally, the door within the shrimp- what lurks behind there?

We stopped by the Big Prawn in Ballina for some classic touristy photos. There’s no specific parking, but we just pulled into the Bunnings car park (no tickets required). We rode past on the weekend but it was packed, so we came back early Monday morning when it was quiet and managed to get a great spot for photos.

Easy parking. My eldest asked if they have a "Big BBQ" to go with the prawn, you could just pop in to bunnings to grab one while you're there.
Eichelle A — Google review
Biggest prawn I've seen (so far). While standing in the Bunnings parking lot admiring the craftsmanship of this large crustacean, it began to thunder. That quickly, our admiration became tinged with fear. What other weather events might the Big Prawn conjure? Flash floods? Acid rain? Stop and see Him if you're in the neighborhood, but do so with the respect and appreciation He deserves. Only 4 stars because it could be bigger.
K J — Google review
Big and funny prawn that is worth a quick stop if you are driving by or during a long road trip. Lots of free parking at Bunnings and you can go for a toilet break nearby at Faulks Reserve (the toilet opens from 6am-6pm). Definitely drop by if you get the chance and snap a pic or get a good laugh. Just make sure you don't get run over by cars while you are admiring this comically large prawn!

Mountview Alpaca Farm 🦙 is absolutely recommended! Whether with family, friends or solo, you have to visit here! I’ve interacted with some alpacas in different parks over the years and the alpacas here are definitely the most calm ☺️ Love that we can walk the alpaca in the lush greenery too, it’s very therapeutic! Our 3-year-old loved his experience too. Thank you so much 🙏🏻

So adorable watching people walk their ‘hired’ alpacas around the big green lawns. The coffee and ice-creams were delicious and some of our group went for a swim in the creek (it’s not very deep but it was a hot day) The staff seem really friendly and food was yum. Loved their wine tastings and the atmosphere is country quaint. Good facilities and a fun, unique experience. Nice work O’Reilly’s!

From the moment you enter the Alpaca farm and vineyard, there is an unmatchable serenity. This is a place that can be enjoyed for long hours of the day. My only complaint is the cost for a basic walking experience with an alpaca. We visited as a couple and they dont charge $26.50 for a half hr alpacas walk, they charge per person! So if youre one person with one alpaca you only pay the $26.50 but if your two people still with only one alpacas, they double the price. Unfair price structure. You can still walk in the area that other people are walking the alpacas for free.

I am very pleased with my experience at Mountview Alpaca Farm. Tom was very helpful when we had a late arrival, was very informative on how to deal with the alpacas, and a very nice lad overall.

Thank you Mountview, and many many thanks to Tom.

Minyon Falls Lookout

Scenic spot
Nature & Parks
Waterfalls
Scenic stop overlooking Minyon Falls & the rainforest, also offering walking paths & picnic areas.
One of the best waterfalls in NSW I would say. The walk to the lookout is only about 5 minutes, and you have the option to take the 4 hours return hike to the bottom of the falls. The trail down the bottom is well maintained and easy for the most part, however we did find coming back up a little challenging, so I would say basic fitness is required. Some rock scrambling is needed to get to the very base of the fall. Before the final scrambling you will find yourself crossing a beautiful creek, with many mini rock pools you can relax in.
Lerong L — Google review
Massive waterfall and the pathways around it were really good. Looking down felt crazy its a long way down. Certainly worth a look. The pathway is well maintained and there is a nice viewing platform. It's accessible for anyone be young, old or in a wheelchair. It's a nice spot for a picnic with tables and benches and some toilets also
Luke B — Google review
Take your 4WD! The drive is narrow and winding with many potholes off the sides and on road to avoid. The road turns into dirt for a stint and then turns to bitumen leading up to the carpark. Sedans and low to ground cars can drive there but I wouldn't recommend it in the wet. The site has toilets and paved walkway to the landing to see the Minyon Falls. The falls would be spectacular after rains. The drop is expansive. There are a number of bushwalks you can take from this spot.
Natalie H — Google review
Minyon Falls Lookout: A Thrilling View Worth the Treacherous Drive Minyon Falls, nestled within the magnificent Nightcap National Park in the Northern Rivers region of NSW, is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular natural attractions in the area. The view from the lookout, where the 100m cascade plunges over the rhyolite cliffs into a deep, palm-shaded gorge below, is breathtaking. On a clear day, you can often see all the way out to the coastline. The lookout platform is easily accessible via a short, gentle walk from the main car park, making it perfect for all fitness levels. However, reaching this slice of paradise is an adventure in itself, and requires serious preparation—and a careful choice of vehicle. A Warning About Road Conditions Visitors must be fully aware that the journey to Minyon Falls is challenging and should not be undertaken lightly, especially after heavy rain. Access to Minyon Falls is only via Minyon Falls Road. The roads leading into the National Park are often single-lane in stretches, narrow, and winding, requiring extreme caution and low speeds. Visibility around corners can be poor. The final section of the approach, particularly along Minyon Falls Road, is unsealed (dirt/gravel) and notoriously rough. Deep potholes, large rocks, and deep run-off ditches are common, posing a significant risk to the underside and tires of low-clearance vehicles. While some sedans can make it if driven slowly and with great care, a 4WD or high-clearance vehicle is strongly recommended, especially if wet weather is forecast or has recently occurred. The dirt tracks become extremely muddy and slippery when wet. The drive itself demands full concentration, but the reward at the end makes the bumpy, slow journey worthwhile. Exploring the Tracks!! From Easy Viewpoints to Hard Climbs Once you arrive, Minyon Falls offers several walking tracks to suit different energy levels. 1. Minyon Falls Lookout (Easy) • Distance: Very short, 50\text{m} to 100\text{m} return walk from the car park. • Grade: Easy. • Highlights: Panoramic views over the gorge, waterfall, and the distant coast. Picnic tables are available here. 2. Minyon Grass to Base of Minyon Falls (Hard) • Distance: Approximately 4\text{km} return. • Time: Around 2 hours. • Grade: Hard/Strenuous. • Highlights: This is the most direct route to the base of the falls and the beautiful natural swimming hole. However, the final 100\text{m} involves a challenging rock scramble over large, often wet and slippery boulders to reach the pool at the base of the 100\text{m} drop. 3. Minyon Loop Walking Track (Moderate/Hard) • Distance: 7.5\text{km} to 13\text{km} circuit (depending on start point). • Time: 3.5 to 5 hours. • Grade: Moderate to Hard. • Highlights: This full circuit allows you to experience the diverse landscape, passing through ancient subtropical rainforest, alongside fern-lined creeks, and showcasing towering old-growth brushbox trees before descending to the base of the falls. Be prepared for steep sections on the return climb. Essential Preparation for Visitors Due to the remote location and potential challenges of the drive and the trails, you must come prepared: Sturdy hiking shoes with excellent grip are essential, particularly for the rock scrambling near the base of the falls and the steep, potentially slippery loop track. • Water: Carry plenty of drinking water (at least per person for the longer walks). • Leech Protection: After rain, leeches are common in the rainforest sections. Wear long socks and consider insect repellent. • Weather: Check the forecast and wear appropriate clothing (layers, rain gear). If the falls are the main attraction, visit after recent rainfall to ensure a strong flow; they can be reduced to a trickle in dry spells. • Safety: Always advise a friend or family member of your travel plans and expected return time, as phone reception can be intermittent.

Lamington National Park in Queensland, Australia, is a breathtaking destination that showcases the country’s rich biodiversity and stunning natural beauty. Part of the Gondwana Rainforests World Heritage Area, the park features lush subtropical rainforests, ancient trees, cascading waterfalls, and panoramic mountain views. Visitors can explore over 160 kilometers of walking tracks, including the famous Border Track, which connects Lamington’s Green Mountains and Binna Burra sections. The park is also a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, with more than 200 bird species, including the striking Albert’s lyrebird and the rare Regent bowerbird. Beyond its ecological wonders, Lamington National Park offers a sense of tranquility and adventure that appeals to both casual visitors and experienced hikers. The cool mountain air, moss-covered rocks, and sounds of native birds create an immersive experience that feels worlds away from nearby city life. Accommodations like O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat provide comfortable stays with breathtaking views and opportunities for guided eco-tours, canopy walks, and glow worm experiences. Whether you’re seeking peaceful reflection or a challenging hike through ancient landscapes, Lamington National Park delivers a truly unforgettable encounter with Australia’s natural heritage.

Beautiful area for a walk. Took the Dave’s creek walk which took around 4 hours, great views and scenery. Was very muddy because of rain so be prepared according to the weather.. If you have time while on the Gold Coast definitely take the time to come up to the mountains!
Noah J — Google review
Lamington National Park feels like stepping into an enormous greenhouse powered by waterfalls. The moment you leave the car behind at either Binna Burra or O’Reilly’s the air shifts to cool and damp, scented with leaf litter and the faint sweetness of orchids clinging to beech trunks. Vines loop between strangler figs, pademelons graze beside the trail without concern and every few minutes a whipbird call ricochets through the canopy. The walking tracks cater for all moods. Border Track is the park’s backbone, a soft, fern-lined corridor that links the two main trailheads, while detours like the Toolona Creek circuit reward sturdier legs with a procession of cascades spilling over mossy ledges. Suspension bridges on the Tree Top Walk lift you into the mid-storey where you can look eye to eye with fruit doves and spot glow-in-the-dark fungi on fallen logs. Even short strolls such as the Centenary Track reveal lamington blue crayfish scuttling over wet stone after rain. Facilities are low-key but thoughtful. Trail maps at car parks are clear, water refill points sit near the main visitor centres and picnic areas come with barbecues that stay surprisingly clean given the daily traffic. Mobile signal is patchy once you drop into the gullies so download an offline map, and pack a light jacket even in summer because mist moves in fast. If you stay overnight, the campground fire pits make a perfect end to the day as sugar gliders dart overhead. For anyone chasing ancient rainforest, reliable wildlife encounters and a network of tracks that can fill a single hour or an entire long weekend, Lamington delivers in spades.

Lamington National Park – A Must-Visit Gem near Brisbane Just a two-hour drive (around 160 kilometers) from Brisbane lies the spectacular Lamington National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage–listed wonderland of towering mountains, cascading waterfalls, and lush subtropical rainforest. The journey itself is scenic, winding through narrow forested roads that gradually open up to breathtaking views of valleys and peaks. Once inside, you’ll find walking tracks that range from gentle strolls to long adventurous hikes, each surrounded by the sights and sounds of untouched wilderness. The waterfalls, hidden within the dense greenery, provide picture-perfect stops along the way. Morning is the best time to visit, when the air is fresh and cool — all you need is a pair of light, comfortable shoes to explore the trails with ease. What makes the experience magical is the wildlife. Colorful native birds often perch on your arms or even your head, especially if you offer them food at the designated feeding areas. Their friendly presence adds a fairytale-like charm to the park. Lamington National Park is more than just a natural reserve — it is a sanctuary of peace and wonder, where you can immerse yourself in the beauty of Australia’s unique landscape. For anyone visiting Brisbane, this is truly a must-go destination.

Such lovely and kind staff! So helpful and very knowledgeable about the town. They just reopened after a year and are still the first stop you should make in Lismore.

Fun place for the kids to play in Heritage Park beside the Visitor Information Centre, fully fenced with quite a few bbq areas Only Bad point is No toilets close to play area . Only toilets in Visitor Information Center ONLY whilst centre is open, surely Council could provide children's toilets at the park to use during day light only...

Great visit to Daleys fruit this week to replenish the community garden plantings. We always come away with wonderful healthy plants and a lot more knowledge than we had when we got there. Thanks you to the Daleys Fruit team and a huge thank you goes out to our funding bodies who support us in our community garden.

I’m a fan. And I will be back. There’s a huge abundance and variety of native edibles as well as other exotic edibles and plant stock to wander. Today we grabbed some great bargains for the beginning year of our food forest. The staff have been helpful, despite me not knowing what to ask - having almost no growing experience - they have been able to direct me to what I need to know. And the emails have been useful and informative- no excess.

Visited Daleys Fruit tree Nursery yesterday, and came home with a Custard Apple tree (Paxton Prolific)! My grandchildren and I can’t wait to pick fruit from our new tree. Luckily them know we need to care and water our trees before they start to fruit. The wait is worth it when you get the result of beautiful fresh fruit. Thanks Daleys for your advice
Tania D — Google review
Happy with purchase: reasonable pricing, plant is good quality and arrived in very good condition. Especially, happy with fair pricing for delivering interstate, plus multiple choices on couriers. Other places online charged a crazy amount to deliver interstate, to the point it was not worth it to buy the plant, so I'm glad I've found Daley's! Will be shopping here again.
M — Google review
I have used Daleys to buy plants online about 10 times, and I've always ended up with a great plant. The website has lots of good information to help you choose the right plant for you and your climate with info on pollination varieties when cross-pollination, etc. Is required. The service is great, and they have quickly and helpfully resolved an issue the one time I had with one. I'll keep coming back! :)

Thankyou Damen and your staff for showing us your amazing part of the world. It was a privilege to spend a few days listening to your knowledge and the passion for the animals. What you and your staff have achieved is an experience we highly recommend to everyone young and old. The children loved the Tepee and their own campfire. The peace and tranquillity was magical. I wish you all the best for the future and hope to see you again soon especially for the fantastic bison burgers.

We went to the park today only as day visitors. We were greeted and shown around the park by a very friendly and informative man, who went out of his way to keep the kids happy and was very patient. The bison, baby rabbits, donkey, cows, peacocks, dingoes, guinea pigs and a large variety of birds were all on display.. The pool, amenities block and bbq area are all clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend this place for day visitors or overnight campers. Thank you for the lovely day.

We are having an absolute blast up here. We travelled up from Sydney, it was very much worth the trip and staying a few days. A big thank you to Damo, his wife Sharon and staff for going out of there way to make us feel like home. There are activities here for all ages, fishing, 4WDing, bush walking, cooking, relaxing and of course the magnificent American Bison are a site to see. We stayed in our camper trailer, the camping grounds are level and heaps of space between camp sites. Suitable for tents, swags and largest of caravans. The amenity building is near new and very well keep. The showers are also very hot. We also purchased directly from the farm, a freezer full of Bison meat. I can highly recommend this place to anyone and we will be coming back. 👍👍👍

Best Place in all of Australia, we had the best night thanks to Damo his beautiful son and the team there, we got to experience things we never would have got to had we not come out to this beautiful space that has been created, it is a once in a lifetime, my kids did not want to leave ever! It was a true adventure I don’t even know where to begin with words! The care, love and respect that is given to the animals was honourable and the respect showen to the native home of the bison was beautiful to see also. Everything was super clean and comfortable and we where made to feel at home, with stories around the bonfire a true blessing of an experience with new friends made I couldnt recommend this place more highly

Suttons Juice Factory and Cidery, located just 10 minutes north of Stanthorpe in the town of Southern Downs, is a popular destination for tourists seeking authentic apple pies. The family-owned establishment offers a variety of freshly-baked pies and other goodies, all made with generous servings of flavorful apples. Visitors can also enjoy the cozy atmosphere with indoor seating by the fireplace or outdoor seating in the grassy backyard.
Great local cafe and juice producer. They give you all apple juice tasting for free and you can buy some food there. We tried: apple pie, beef pie, cheese cake - they were amazing, carrot cake - was awerage. Can be busy and not cheap. But in general - a perfect example of how the local cafe should be.
Denis T — Google review
A popular place to stop in for a coffee and sweet treat. Generous serve of their famous apple pie with spice apple ice cream. A variety of apple juice flavors to choose from. Lots of seating inside and outside. Toilets and parking on site. Friendly staff.
JazzGee — Google review
Suttons Juice Factory is a gem! Their apple pie is hands-down one of the best I’ve ever tasted — warm, flaky, and perfectly spiced. Plenty apple juices to taste, each one bursting with fresh flavour. Super friendly staff and a great spot to grab something delicious and local. Highly recommend!
Boon A — Google review
A must visit for lovers of apple pie. You won’t be disappointed! Husband and I shared a portion and it was enough. The cafe is in a big tin shed which must get very hot in summer but there are fans and an outdoor seating area. Lots of apple-related products for sale.
Tracy H — Google review
Today we went back to Suttons, after a 13 year absence, to see if their famous apple pie was still as good as we could remember. YES, the apple pie was still as good as it was 13 years ago woohoo! Unfortunately the whole experience was let down by the awful cappuccino's we ordered with it, instead of cappuccino's we got a mug of warm milk - hence we didn't drink it and they went into the bin. The lady that served us, also cleaned the table and saw that we hardly drank any of it but never asked why we didn't drink the coffees. It was a bummer because when we ordered and asked for each of our coffees to have a double shot, she said that they use Merlo coffee beans and they are really strong and tasty. Despite this we insisted on double shots, I don't know where the shots went but definitely not in our mugs :(. In the end of the day we went there for the apple pie and that was delicious but I wouldn't recommend the coffee, that is if you are used to a strong cup of good coffee and not a warm cup of milk.
Carlo S — Google review
A must when in Stanthorpe. This place was recommended to us and it didn't dissapoint. 10/10 best Apple pie I've ever eaten! Homemade ice cream is delicious. Service is fast and staff are lovely and friendly. We will be back 🍎🍏

Good place to stop as you pass through Applethorpe/Granite Belt. Coffee was good and I had the Ruben Sandwhich (note that wasn't a standard/classic Ruben as pickels were in the sandwich and was on wholemeal not rye bread). Lots of apple juices to sample and good selection of juice and jams to purchase. Prices were 'moderate ' (no great deals to be had day I was there). Toilets were clean (note only for paying customers. )

This was such a fun and different experience! Being family owned, you could definitely feel the love that has gone into creating the place. I was thoroughly entertained with the hilarious signs everywhere, and the maze experience was fun because you have to find the answer to a riddle. So even though you can just take it casually, when you have the riddle to finish it makes you more excited to get through it. There were smaller mazes too which were super kid friendly and we finished the day with a round of the mini golf which was actually super fun! The place itself was well maintained and looked after, really beautiful and had enough in way of ammenities to feel comfortable. The husband and wife who own it were so friendly and sweet. Definitely recommend giving it a go!

Did the base walk. Easy to push wheelchair (gravelly path) up to the base then there's a few rocky steps up to actual rock base.
Meg C — Google review
What an awe-inspiring little hike; I totally loved this! You can be bold and brave and head straight up the rock face or you can take the gentle route to the Summit via the Bungoona track. Either way the views are simply stunning. About 3km in total. Truly, it's nature at her best. Easily accessible via the New England Highway and ample parking with toilets and picnic facilities.

What a wonderful experience. The dog show is worth it and one gets an idea of how patient one needs to be if doing specialist dog training. Also did a very short tour of the truffle nursery and bought some truffle oil. Using the latter in cooking (very small quantities) and it adds amazing taste and complexity to a dish. There is also local honey one can purchase. Definitely pop in if you're in the area. Check the website for opening days as they are not open that often. When we went they were only open on Wednesday and Saturday from 11am. Also check when they do the Alpaca feeding.

Nestled just 40 kilometers south of Stanthorpe, Girraween National Park is a breathtaking destination that truly lives up to its name, which means 'Place of Flowers.' This stunning park showcases an array of unique rock formations, including the famous Granite Arch and Balancing Rock. With its hilly terrain and diverse ecosystems, it offers a variety of hiking trails suitable for all levels.
Great place, and could be a church to those you love nature. The hikes here are great for kids and those less experienced. Or those who don't like a whole day in the bush. Close to civilisation and will give those new to hills a good scramble experience with limited exposure yet some nice views. Some exposed cliff edges where sections of wet scree could see the heart race with a slip and fall so need to be mindful of your skill level.

Recently walked to granite arch and the junction. Beautiful and easy walks with so many lovely native plants to enjoy. The creeks were running high which was nice. While headed first toward the pyramids, I knew I didn’t want to do that walk having done it a couple of times in the past I wasn’t keen to scramble up a granite rock. While other enjoyed the challenge a smaller group broke off to enjoy a more leisurely walk. Great signage at the start of the walk making it easy to plan your walk.

Gorgeous natural park. We stayed at Girraween National Park for a couple of nights to explore the area. What a quiet, beautiful, peaceful place to camp! Clean camping areas with amenities blocks.

The Pyramids is an insane hike. Not for the faint hearted. The stairs are never ending and then its on to the steep rock face climb. Its very challenging but so rewarding! (If you're a fitness fanatic you'll be fine) its do-able for moderate fitness level but its tough. Plenty of areas to stop to catch your breath though. View at the top is absolutely amazing. Don't attempt this if your scared of heights.

Feel perhaps if this happens, maybe someone from the Centre could open. After all, majority of people visiting from afar, do so because of the Saddlery history, thanks to Peter Allen.
