Poondahra Falls

Poondahra Falls is a small but wide waterfall on the Little Nerang Creek East Branch within Springbrook National Park, Queensland.

It is one of four waterfalls along this stretch of creek and is reached via the Warrie Circuit trail, accessible from either Canyon Lookout or the Tallanbana Picnic Area — roughly 3. 7 km from the Tallanbana car park.

The falls are signposted with a short side trail off the main track.

The name Poondahra comes from the language of the traditional custodians of the land and is understood to mean "middle," reflecting the waterfall's position among the series of cascades along the creek.

Even at low flow the falls are considered picturesque, framed notably by a large tree fern in front of the cascade, and they become considerably more impressive after heavy rain.
