All About

Bangalore Falls

Highlights

Bangalore Falls is a must-see destination within Bindarri National Park. These spectacular waterfalls are easily accessible, yet in a beautiful, remote location. It’s an easy 500 metre walk from the car park, and the views are outstanding all year round. Admire the views of the cascading waters and snatch glances into the Bangalore Gorge from the lookout. Wander back to the picnic area along the easy walking track.

This short walk takes you past awe-inspiring grand trees that escaped the former logging activities in the park. Relax and enjoy a peaceful picnic under the trees, with the sound of the waterfalls in the distance. Look out for lyrebirds and, if you’re a keen birdwatcher, you might recognise the distinctive ‘wom-poo’ call of the wompoo fruit-dove.

Add the Bangalore Falls Walking Track to your Aussie Bucket List if you are in the Coffs Harbour region and enjoy exploring Australia's great outdoors.

Important Information

Guidelines

Always do some research before heading out for your journey. Visit the parks website for the most up to date information.
Always enjoy waterfalls from trails and marked viewing points. Do not climb over barriers as cliff edges and slippery surfaces may cause injury or death.
Only swim where permitted. Don’t jump from cliff edges into water bodies.
Swimming near or under waterfalls can be dangerous due to strong currents, submerged hidden rock ledges and other dangers. The force of a waterfall can be incredibly strong and unfortunately, many people have drowned. Follow warning signs and take caution.
Ensure you observe all safety signs. Always stay on the marked tracks where possible. Never climb fences, they are there for your own safety.
Wear suitable footwear and always ensure to bring a hat and sunscreen to protect yourself from the elements when exploring Australia.
Plan ahead and ensure to take enough food and water for your journey.
Please consider the environment, take your rubbish with you or place in the bins provided. We want to ensure these beautiful places are still here for our future generations to enjoy.
Parking, camping and national park fees may apply. See parks website for more details.
