Macquarie Pass & Surrounds

Discover lush rainforests, tall eucalyptus trees, steep sandstone ridges, gullies and waterfalls in Macquarie Pass National Park.

The walking track at the foot of the pass leads you along the creek through lush rainforests to the Cascades Waterfall where the water plunges 20 meters in the pool at the bottom. 

This delightful easy walk is home to lyrebirds, platypus and goannas as well as native figs, lilly pillys and lianas. With lizards skittering about and birds flying around, you will love this walk all year-round.

The Clover Hill Trail and old logging route begins half way up Macquarie Pass and leads to the top of Rainbow Falls and three smaller falls upstream on Macquarie Rivulet. As you walk through the dense forest suddenly the landscape opens up at Clover Hill where farmers cleared paddocks over a century ago to view over the escarpment.

You will feel truly at one with nature as you meander through the ancient rainforest to the sights and sounds of native animals and birdlife that are in abundance here at Macquarie Pass National Park.
