This walk is great with amazing views and, of course the pretty falls. Mowbray Falls is ~25 metres high. There are some steep climbs but plenty of rainforest to enjoy.

How to get there

Bump Track trailhead on Black Mountain Road (Mowbray). Alternate and longer route from Conolly Road. The Bump Track is the most common route taken.

Walk along the Bump Track to just after the river crossing. Locate the turnoff on the right which leads to Mowbray Falls. This has some steep and slippery sections.

Have a quick dip in the pools and return via the same route.
