After set up camp we went to check the place we didn’t know where to start, too many options we decided to go and see Florence Falls, after taking some photos and swam in the plunge pool of this spectacular double waterfalls set amid monsoon rainforest, then after we went to Buley Rockhole; these are a series of small waterfalls and rockholes that provided the perfect site to cool off and relax, we loved it because the temperature was 36 degrees and the water was perfect.
Next day we explored some 4WD tracks and found Surprise Creek Falls, we walked through the forest and found a large tranquil pool and pleasant waterfalls which once again provided a great cooling off spot after the walk. Continued and found Tjaynera Falls/Sandy Creek it was a long walk at the end you are rewarded with a beautiful pool. In our way back we pay a visit to Blyth Homestead which are the ruins of an old homestead built in 1929 as an outstation of the main Stapleton Homestead for the boys to search for tin, it was amazing what people did to get rich the place is full of nasty insects and very hot.
Later on we visited Tolmer Falls, these falls cascade over two high escarpments into a distant, deep plunge pool. There was no public access to the bottom of the fall because it is home to several colonies of rare and protected bat species, Ghost Bats and Orange Horseshoe Bats.
We went to the park’s most popular visitor attraction the Wangi Falls with its two falls cascading into a cool, fresh water massive pool; this visit was worth it because apart of being so beautiful we had 36 degrees again.
We found for those enthusiastic hikers and campers, Walker Creek, with individual camping spots and a private rockpool, the problem is that you have to carry all your gear with you from the car park up to 1.8 km.
The visit to this park was worth it.
