An easy introduction to creek walking.This is a relatively short walk and in the Blackall Range. Estimated walk time is 4 hrs, with a stop for morning tea and likely back at cars for lunch.
The walk starts off Browns Creek Road Yandina. We follow a wide bush trail for a short time before a short easy descent to York Creek. We follow York Creek upstream for a short easy creek walk. We arrive at Lower York Falls and ascend an easy slab climb up beside and well clear of the falls. From here we make our way upstream to the Middle and Upper Falls. To summit the falls requires a bit of scrambling, good fun and a sense of achievement.

We then follow up the banks of York Creek until we regain the stream. Mature Water Gums dominate this section. Rock hopping our way upstream we eventually come to an attractive spot for morning tea.

The exit route is an old snigging trail where it crosses York Creek. From here we exit the creek and follow wide bush trails back to the cars.

Experienced visitors welcome.
