Picnic Creek, Kondalilla Falls

Kondalilla National Park.

A beautiful rainforest walk down to Picnic Creek, the Kondalilla Falls lookout and the Rock Pools.

About 100 km north of Brisbane, near Montville, in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, and a 45 minute drive from home.

Named after the spectacular Kondalilla Falls, where Skene Creek drops 80 m into a rainforest valley, this park is a cool mountain retreat and an important refuge for many native animals and plants.

'William Skene founded this area on his property while searching for lost cattle. He named it Bon Accord before gifting it to the Queensland Government who, during the fifties, renamed it Kondalilla which is an Aboriginal word for running water. The area was first officially protected in 1906 as a recreational area, becoming a national park in 1945.'
