Protesters Falls Walking Track

Location

Terania Creek Road
Nightcap, New South Wales, 2480

Details

Nestled in the rugged ranges of Nightcap National Park, World Heritage-listed Protesters Falls walking track leads through magnificent rainforest to a spectacular waterfall. An ideal short walk for families and nature-lovers, its a great stop on a driving tour of the beautiful NSW North Coast hinterland, near Lismore.

Named after the Terania Creek protests of the late 1970s that saved this precious patch of pristine rainforest, its an important habitat for a range of endangered frogs, including the threatened Fleays barred frog and pouched frog.

As you walk along this easy track, youll notice how subtropical bangalow palms and native tamarind give way to towering rainforest giants of yellow carabeen and strangler figs. Listen out for the call of the rose-crowned fruit dove and the barred cuckoo-shrike. You might even see a pademelon darting through the bush. If youve worked up an appetite, enjoy a leisurely lunch at Terania Creek picnic area.
