Boonoo Boonoo Falls

We were very impressed with the maintenance of the Boonoo Boonoo National Park.

We camped at the Cypress Pine Campground.  There are several camping spaces which are not too close together and allow the car to be at the camp.  Each camp has a picnic table and fireplace.  Nearby there is a drop toilet, firewood shed and sheltered barbeque.  There are several walks to the river from the camp ground, including Platypus Pools.  Although it was summer there were many wildflowers around too.

You can hike about 6 kilometres along the river (and see several cascades) to arrive at Boonoo Boonoo Falls.  However we chose to drive to the falls and take the short easy walk to the falls and rock pools.

Nearby we also enjoyed Thunderbolts Hideout, the walk up Bald Rock and Upper Swamp Falls.

Boonoo Boonoo Rockpools would be a lovely swimming hole on a hot day
