Gorge Falls - Tallebudgera Valley - Amazing Waterfall and Swimming hole on the Gold Coast

Gorge Falls, Springbrook National Park is accessed via Tallebudgera Creek Road, Tallebudgera Valley.
Drive all the way down Tallebudgera Creek Road, eventually come to a dead end - small car park.
Start on the Cream Track then veer off to the left once reach wooden stairs, approximately 1 km
from trail head.
Continue up the creek, rock hopping and eventually rewarded with a beautiful swimming hole and waterfall.
Surrounded by rain forest and many creek crossings, pleasant hike, lots of rock hopping and short distance, approximately 1.6 kilometres from trail head.
Be warned, you will most likely get wet as there are many creek crossings.
Beautiful short hike, well worth a visit - a little hidden gem…

Been going here for years, after the storm theres a massive tree in the bottom of the first waterfall now so might be worth waiting if anyone wants to jump

Do you need a permit for gorge falls or just the cream track Thankyou can’t wait to go! Looks amazinggg

[@joe_outdoors_australia]

Not that I am aware of, there were no signs indicating other.
The trail is also the start of the cream track, which is closed, as it leads through private property.
You could hike the cream track in past, a permit was required, but it is now closed and permits are unattainable.
However, Gorge Falls, there were no signs indicating private property or trail closed at the time of this video.

Hey man so sorry to be a pain but by any chance do you have any social media so I can personally do you?

[@jackstanton6935]

Hey man a couple questions 1) is it hard to find the water fall and 2) is there many people at the waterfall

[@joe_outdoors_australia]

Hi Jack, thanks for the comment.
I didn’t find it hard, I followed the creek and it was pretty straight forward. 🙂
I went on a week day and didn’t come across anyone - but on weekends I believe it gets quite busy.
Cheers
Joe 🙂

Hi Errol, thanks for the comment.
If I’m ever concerned about a certain hike, then I won’t go unless I’m able to have another person with me and have the mindset that I can turn back if I feel it’s above my experience or comfort level.
Some of this track is very uneven, there’s lots of rock hopping and negotiate tree roots and rutted sections - very unstable ground in spots - so it must be approached with caution….
In saying this, it’s my personal opinion - and everyone is different.
Above all, always hike safe 🙏

Its a shame this place has become public, mates own the property you passed through to get here. We were only shown the gorge by an Aboriginal as its sacred to them and needed permission. Hopefully it hasnt been trashed.
