Description:
An excellent, easy introductory walk that highlights some of the best features of the scenic rim - lookouts over rocky escarpments, gorgeous rainforests, waterfalls and caves. Unsurprisingly, this feature-rich walk is very popular, particularly with families and tourists. The major highlight is Boy-ull Creek, which splits and tumbles over the gorge as Twin Falls into a small, rocky pool. The graded track winds behind both Twin Falls and Blackfellow Falls (expect to get wet), and cascades can be explored further downstream of the former with some care. Interpretive signs describe rainforest plants and animals.
Twin Falls Circuit can be visited any time of the year, but waterfalls are at their best after rain.
