About this place
NPWS lists Carrington Falls walking track as a 0.6 km loop (30-45 minutes) from Carrington Falls picnic area (Thomas' Place picnic area) in Budderoo National Park. The track follows the escarpment past Falls View lookout, a steep metal stairway into a rainforest gully, then Valley View lookout beside the 90 m drop of Carrington Falls into the Kangaroo River. There is no access to the top of the waterfall; stay well back from cliff edges. Park entry fees apply only in the Minnamurra Rainforest area of Budderoo, not at Carrington Falls. Nearby Nellies Glen picnic area has a waterhole and longer Warris Chair and Missingham lookout tracks.
