Crows Nest Falls

Highlights

Crows Nest Falls is an awesome spot to explore nature! Located just 30 minutes from Toowoomba, the falls plunge 20 metres into a deep pool surrounded by towering granite cliffs. After rain, the water gushes over the rocks, making the falls even more spectacular.

The walking trails take you to beautiful lookouts and the Valley of Diamonds, where you’ll see rare wildflowers and all kinds of birds. If you stay overnight, the campground has everything you need for a fun outdoor adventure, like barbecues, showers, and picnic tables.

Adult Supervision Recommended

Waterfalls and steep cliffs can be dangerous, so make sure an adult is with you to stay safe while exploring.
