Scenic Circuit
South Burnett
Bunya Mountains National Park
An easy stroll along a popular trail that includes lookouts and typically dry, but beautiful waterfalls.
This moderately trafficked, well-marked trail starts from the Dandabah picnic area in the Bunya Mountains.
The walk meanders through lush rainforest and hoop pines, crossing Saddletree Creek for a view of the typically dry, but very picturesque Festoon Falls.
The track continues to Pine Gorge Lookout, with views across the valley towards Kingaroy and the Tarong Power station.
The walk also provides views of both the base and top of Tim Shea Falls, with its peaceful little rock pool.
The walk concludes with an amazing walk through a strangler fig.
Track: Graded and well-signed, the track is easy to follow, with only a small amount of elevation change.
Difficulty: The track is suitable for all fitness levels.
Direction: While the track can be completed in either direction, anti-clockwise is recommended.
