Protesters Falls Track in Nightcap National Park is a 1.2 km return walk through World Heritage-listed rainforest, leading to a spectacular waterfall.
The track is named after the Terania Creek protests of the late 1970s, which saved this pristine rainforest.
Along the way, you'll encounter subtropical bangalow palms, native tamarind, and towering rainforest giants like yellow carabeen and strangler figs.
The area is home to endangered frogs, including the Fleay’s barred frog and pouched frog.
Birdwatchers can listen for the calls of the rose-crowned fruit dove and the barred cuckoo-shrike.
The walk is graded as moderate and takes about 45 minutes.
Remember to bring water, a hat, and sunscreen, and be aware that the area may be subject to temporary closure due to flash flooding.
