Very peaceful rainforest walk. We really enjoyed the atmosphere whilst listening to the different Birdlife & spotting pademelons. The circuit does appear to require some maintenance. We climbed over a big fallen tree across the path near the end. Planks of wood were placed instead of a bridge in one spot but we went to the left of it. Palm leaves were falling from quite a height today making us very alert! Take extra care walking across the muddy areas and rocky path at times. Water is flowing nicely in sections. Shaded and a nice temperature this Autumn morning. Remember the bug spray.
Parking for Palm Grove Circuit has a small carpark to start from with information board. No dogs or bikes permitted.

Great rainforest walk. Very rustic. Bit of confusion finding entry point with google maps when there appears to be many exit options given along the trail itself.
We had a great experience made even more memorable by a torrential downpour that descended on us about half way around the longest loop. Sorry no pictures of the rain as I was trying to preserve our electronics that were in my unprotected backpack. We spent an hour walking on slippery rocks and a messy track. When the rain came down the leeches emerged. We did not realize the leeches were attaching to our legs until we were almost back to our car. By then we had dozens to deal with. After some blood letting we did survive. The memories we have will be priceless when in old age we are sitting in our rocking chairs.
As a lone walker I was quiet enough to see alot of red-necked pademelons without them getting scared allowing them to carry on eatting while i watched. Track was easy, signage a little confusing. Limited car parking. Popular walk.
Really stunning walk, was a bit muddy due to some rain a few days ago, but nothing too crazy. A few sections of the track are a bit damaged and require you to go around, but well worth going to
Such a stunning walk. It's easy, boggy in sections after rain, peaceful and totally serene.
A great walk, I did the extension and the trees are amazing some of them huge, with many tall trees. I entered at the Palm Grove Road entrance.
Great views but the proximity to the road and houses kills the atmosphere. When I was there I could hear people with leaf blowers, motorbikes, etc... Not exactly the sounds of a rain forest.
