We had a lovely time when we did the Girrakool Loop Walk. It is only a short walk, 2km, and an easy grade, suitable for most fitness levels.
We started from the Eastern side of the car park, near the picnic area, going down past the big sandstone slab which has some Aboriginal carvings.
As you go along just above the creek you can drop down to a few different lookouts. Some unfortunately need to be cleared a bit so you can actually see something.
Really liked Illoura Lookout where the junction of the Piles and Leask Creek is located. You can get a great view of the small waterfall on Piles Creek if you walk down the Eastern side of Piles Creek Loop for a short distance.
However, the best, in my opinion were the falls on Leask Creek. You can see them from a lookout or walk right down to them. The wildflowers were just coming out and were spectacular.
We had a lovely lunch up in the Girrakool picnic area, under the close scrutiny of a Brush Turkey.

It is always wonderful to out in nature. The sights were amazing particularly the suspension bridge on the Piles Creek loop. It was a good hike which certainly got your fitness up. I recommend anyone going to this location to escape from the busy life and go back into nature

Do yourself a favor and investigate the history of this place. It is very special. You could spend weeks here and still find things that will amaze you and make you question the history you’ve been taught.

Fantastic area with recently upgraded facilities.
We chose the Girrakool Loop. Easy walk of only a C of uple of KMs. Flowers are just coming out for Spring and we met an extremely friendly bush/brush turkey.

I have ventured this park from several areas and there are quite a few good spots to experience a good walk. If you're coming here for the fake hieroglyphs then you're in for a treat. They can be tricky to find, so ask someone. Access to the actual wall is not child friendly, but the park generally is

Hi, Is this place is suitable to go with the baby of 4 months old? We don't want to do much walk as we have my parents with us who can't walk much. Is the waterfall and viewing points are pram friendly or with short walk without pram ?
