IMPORTANT EVENT INFORMATION – Insulator Falls & Fig Tree Falls (Paluma Range NP)
Join the group as we hike and explore two beautiful and rarely visited waterfalls in the Paluma Range NP, Insulator & Fig Tree Falls.
This adventure will begin with a hike along the lower section of the Bambaroo Track, where we’ll check out a couple of the biggest and most beautiful fig trees in the lower section of the NP, before pushing on to explore Insulator Creek, Insulator Gorge and the two waterfalls.
There will be plenty of opportunities for a swim during the day, so don’t forget your swimmers!
There will be some rock hopping involved, and some moderately steep inclines and declines, however the waterfalls and surrounding terrain is quite beautiful and rarely visited, so well worth the effort.
This hike is suitable for average fitness levels and above.
