Baxter Falls

Baxter Falls is a waterfall on Baxter Creek located in the northern section of Kondalilla National Park on the Sunshine Coast hinterland of Queensland, Australia.

Though relatively small, the falls drop into a rocky gorge surrounded by lush rainforest, creating a scenic and tranquil setting. A swimming hole sits at the base of the falls, and the creek itself is also suitable for swimming.

Wildlife including frogs, geckos, and other reptiles can be spotted in the area.

The falls are accessible via several walking tracks, including a northern approach from Suses Pocket Road and a southern approach, both of which form part of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland Great Walk.

The northern trail descends steeply through shady forest via a narrow, winding path to a metal suspension bridge over Baxter Creek, just 100 metres from the falls. The southern approach covers approximately 7.

6 kilometres return and passes through open eucalypt forest and rocky outcrops before reaching the gorge.
