Formed by the Little Nerang Creek East Branch cascading over the cliffs, Blackfellow Falls forms a curtain of water that drops over the Twin Falls Circuit walking track.
The track also passes the top of Blackfellow Falls – but while there’s a nice view to the east, you can’t see the waterfall itself from here.
There’s not much history online on this waterfall or why it was given this name – but it was a tourist attraction in the 1930s.
Getting to Blackfellow Falls
Both the top and bottom of the Blackfellow Falls is reached by the Twin Falls Circuit, a relatively easy walk that follows the top of the escarpment, before dropping down below the cliff walls and looping back under the tall cliffs. This is one of two waterfalls – the loop gets its name from the more impressive and popular Twin Falls.
The Twin Falls Circuit is 4.2km, which can be accessed from the Canyon Lookout or the Tallanbana Picnic Area. (The longer Warrie Circuit also passes the waterfall.) If you just want to visit this waterfall, it’s about 2.4km return from the Canyon Lookout.)
Both the trailheads (Canyon Lookout and Tallanbana Picnic Area) are along Springbrook Road, which is about a 90min drive from Brisbane via the Nerang–Murwillumbah Road (State Route 97) and Springbook Road (State Road 99).
