Coomera Circuit

27 July 2002

This was supposed to be a walk to Wire Rope Falls but I was unable to obtain permission to cross private land on this particular day so we headed off to the recently reopened Coomera Circuit. This is a lovely walk up along the headwaters of the Coomera River at Binna Burra. It is very similar to the Albert River Circuit at O'Reilly's and of a similar length of about 17.5Km.

Unfortunately, there is no view of the Falls at present with the old viewing platform having been removed some time ago because it was unsafe. But, there were plenty of small waterfalls along the very scenic river.

There has been a lot of heavy work done by the Rangers rebuilding the track and relocating parts of it, including a couple of stone stairways.

I had been told that a family of quolls live in the area of the relocated track but, being daytime, we saw no signs of them.

It was a pleasant walk with great company. Thanks to all who came along and enjoyed the exercise and the afternoon tea at the cafe at Binna Burra. Patricia
