[ADVERT]Fitzroy Falls offers a fantastic national park experience. The boardwalk ,which follows the natural meander along the creek through restored native bushland, takes you to a lookout at the top of the Falls (about 100 metres).
This is a popular location for bird watchers, in particular those wanting to see or hear a lyrebird singing or be dazzled by the vibrant colours of rosellas, lorikeets, and parakeets.
