Tree Top Walkway — Attraction in O'Reilly

The tree top walk is a short easy walk among the trees, informative with little plaques and information signs, lots of beautiful birds, trees, and wildlife. Heaps of other walks to do too with waterfalls and views of the mountains. There's $5 parrot feeding, heaps of king parrots and crimson rosellas flock to you and sit on your head, arms, chest and seed plate. There's a cafe with the most gorgeous views too. My pics are from the pats bluff walk, which starts on the python rock walk, and branches off when you get to the part of the walk where the track is slightly diverted -there is a fallen tree and a seat, the track that goes behind that seat is the start of Pat's bluff walk. there were heaps of pretty wild flowers, wild raspberries growing, bees humming and we even saw a pretty snake. We saw these beautiful purple wild berries growing too and the views of the mountains were especially spectacular on that walk, there were beautiful areas to picnic with collections of large rocks to sit on whilst enjoying your view. There are toilets at the cafe and across the road from there too. The tree top walk is near the cafe, up the road around 100meters, starting at the boardwalk. Python rock walk is around 400 metres before the cafe, there are only a few car parks there, but there is a lot more near the cafe, if you park there, you can walk down safely as there is an off road pedestrian path to both Moran's falls and Python Rock from...

We went to 2 different tree top walks in this area, both werr great experiences. This one has a short walk about 10m above the ground, under the tree canopy. The walkways are designed for up to 6 people at a time.

There is a point where you can climb up a series of ladders, and while it is protected by a safety cage, only one person can climb at a time and there isn't much room.

There is an optional private botanical garden area at the end of the walk, which is quite overgrown in some areas and can be tricky to navigate.

We saw several birds, lizards and butterflies in this area and found it more enjoyable than the treetop part of the walk, as many people skipped this area so it was much more scenic.

There are 2 roads in, but both are very narrow most of the way. There were lots of points where we had to pull over to let oncoming traffic pass.

There is replica aeroplane, accommodation, restaurant, bar and lots of parking available.

There is also an area where you can feed and take photos with rainbow lorikeets.

Overall it is a great place to escape the sun, but getting to and from the site via the narrow road with so much traffic in both directions is too frustrating to make...

Amazing experience! Walking through top of trees at some point you get 25/30 meters above ground! I felt like a Koala! 😁

The metal ladder to the top can get slippery while wet so take extra caution!

Don’t forget to take some gold coin with you to drop in the box to support its maintenance.

On the pathway, there is a sign that reads “This section of the Tree Top Walk was built in 1986. Because of its popularity it became congested with people entering and leaving be the same route. To avoid this the walkway was extended in 1987 to make it a round trip. It was the first rainforest Tree Top Walkway in the world and has set a trend for Australia and overseas”

Another sign says “This walkway was the brainchild of Peter O'Reilly, snr, and was built by the Green Mountains Natural History Association, who...
