Curtis Falls in Tamborine National Park descends 10-12 metres over basalt rocks within the Joalah section, fed continuously by Cedar Creek. The area harbors rare platypus and glow-worms, and features accessible walking tracks, though access to the pool is restricted to protect these sensitive species. The 1.1km easy walk takes around 45 minutes and rewards visitors with lush rainforest scenery and volcanic geology from an ancient eruption.

You will find plenty of parking just start of track. Track is easy and within 15-20min walk you will be at Curtis Falls. Track from rainforest is beautiful, scenic but wet. So wear good grip shoe's. You can go with kids, not much space down and if many people visiting. It can get crowded easily.

Curtis Falls is such a lovely little escape πΏ Easy to access, family-friendly walking track, and surrounded by cute rainforest vibes the whole way through. Perfect spot for a quick nature reset without having to do a hard hike. Definitely worth a visit if youβre around the area!

Beautiful and tranquil location. There are ancient rainforest trees, Strangler figs, palm trees, birdlife, goannas, and many other wildlife. NOTE There is mud, as you get to the Waterfall. The steps are quite deep, and uneven. Older ones may struggle up/down stairs. The walk is "easy" but there are steps. There is a small outlook area, with seating before the steps to the waterfall where older individuals can have a rest. Or, you can sit and observe the birds, if other visitors are not too loud.

Great walk with well kept tracks and surroundings. Was a comfortable and adventurous walk with 3 kids under 10 with around 20 minutes there and back from carpark. Took our swimmers but didnβt realise it was strictly a walk lol
