Protesters Falls
Highlights
Protesters Falls is a magical spot hidden in the Nightcap National Park. The walk to the falls takes you through a lush rainforest full of ancient trees and beautiful plants. It’s like stepping into a real-life fairy tale! The name “Protesters Falls” comes from the brave people who stood up to protect this amazing rainforest in the 1970s, saving it from being destroyed by logging.
Along the 1.4km walk, you’ll learn about the fascinating history of how this place became protected. Kids will love discovering the cool plants and animals, including rare frogs that live in the creek. Just remember, no swimming is allowed because it helps keep the frogs safe in their special home.
This easy walk is perfect for families, and the sound of the waterfalls at the end is like music from nature. It’s an adventure that’s fun and teaches you about the importance of protecting our environment!

What You Need To know
Guidelines
- Always do some research before heading out for your journey. Visit the parks website for the most up to date information.
- Always enjoy waterfalls from trails and marked viewing points. Do not climb over barriers as cliff edges and slippery surfaces may cause injury or death.
- Only swim where permitted. Don’t jump from cliff edges into water bodies.
- Swimming near or under waterfalls can be dangerous due to strong currents, submerged hidden rock ledges and other dangers. The force of a waterfall can be incredibly strong and unfortunately, many people have drowned. Follow warning signs and take caution.
- Ensure you observe all safety signs. Always stay on the marked tracks where possible. Never climb fences, they are there for your own safety.
- Wear suitable footwear and always ensure to bring a hat and sunscreen to protect yourself from the elements when exploring Australia.
- Plan ahead and ensure to take enough food and water for your journey.
- Please consider the environment, take your rubbish with you or place in the bins provided. We want to ensure these beautiful places are still here for our future generations to enjoy.
