Third Falls Hike, Morialta

About the Walking Trail

This adven­tur­ous trail offers addi­tion­al views of dra­mat­ic cliffs and all three water­falls in Mori­al­ta. The hike includes out­stand­ing look­outs of Mori­al­ta Gorge from Deep View and Kook­abur­ra Rock look­out. The hike skirts around the edge of the gorge with views of the cliffs, and continues up Fourth Creek past First Falls, Second Falls (with a short detour) and Third Falls. Views back over the Morialta gorge and the Plains.

Take care, this trail includes steep sec­tions and rocky, uneven sur­faces that may be slip­pery when wet.

National Park rangers rec­om­mend doing this hike in a clock­wise direction.

The hike begins from the top carpark, or you can commence from the lower carpark on Stradbroke Road and walk along the Fourth Creek Walk to the top carpark.
