In the Jourama Falls section of Paluma Range National Park, Waterview Creek tumbles down many picturesque cascades and rapids, offering beautiful spots to relax, camp, walk and enjoy watching birds, butterflies and other native wildlife. Rainforest grows on the higher slopes and fringes of the creek. Poplar gum, bloodwood, Moreton Bay ash and cocky apple trees are common in the open woodland.
Jourama Falls track starts at the end of the road, 700m past the main camping area. This pleasant walk through open woodland leads you to a creek crossing. At the signposted junction, about 100m beyond the creek crossing, continue to the lookout or visit the creek further upstream. The 600m track to the lookout is all uphill but you will be rewarded with views out over the falls and the surrounding rainforest.
On the return leg, stop to explore the creek and its lush vegetation. You can even slip into the clear water to cool off.
