Cedar Creek Falls
Just a hop, skip and a jump from the end of Cedar Creek Road, you can admire the spectacular cascading falls and rock pools from one of the many lookouts or dive in and take a swim. As Tamborine Mountain isn’t connected to the town’s water these are the only swimming holes available in the area. As with all natural attractions they can be treacherous, so be sure to follow all regulatory notices as you descend into the open canyon.
