This rainforest circuit walk follows Amamoor Creek around the Cedar Grove camping area. From the southern side of the camping area, cross the footbridge to enter a subtropical rainforest of large blue gums, tall forest oaks and a breathtaking piccabeen palm grove.
Cool off with a dip in the waterhole at the start of the track. As you walk, look for glowing fungi of various shapes and colours along the track edges, a photographer’s delight.
Follow the creek bank and spot native fish and platypus—look for tell-tale bubbles on the water’s surface, then walk through the creek to return to the camping area.
