Sundown National Park — Attraction in Sundown

Came here to visit the falls and do a short day walk. Drove in via Stanthorpe/Texas road, turning off onto Nundubbermere Rd and then onto Falls Rd.. All roads were clearly signposted and the bitumen pavement ran out just before coming off the granite belt plateau. Note the change of rock type here from granites to basalts. A couple of gates to pass through on Falls road so the front passenger can get some exercise.. Dirt road was in good condition with caution needed to avoid high rocks in the centre. I took my ordinary road car all the way to the camping area without drama.. Several short unformed rough tracks lead down to the river and falls below the camping area high ground. We walked several Kms downstream before returning to the falls.. Water level was moderate so several cliff deviations were required. We contemplated wade/swim but 'yeah naw'. Falls break through rough fractured basalt rock sills and extend over several drops into fracture line gutters.. interesting and attention grabbing.. like to see these at full flow! Well worthy of...

Absolutely beautiful place to explore, with lots of hidden tracks to be found. There is a great range of animals, that are just as curious of you as you are of them. This is a 4x4 high clearance only national park, the main track through the park leading to various camp grounds is a very easy drive, and weaves you through the old mining shafts and infrastructure left behind, some of the side tracks however can be difficult, rocky, steep and may require a winch. Unfortunately most of the tracks through the park are not available on the maps. It's a lot of fun climbing down into the dry river bed and walking in the gorges scenic rock formations, with vast amounts of birds and mammals drawn to the many rock pools and trickling water falls that remain in rocky crevasses during the dry season. An Absolutely phenomenonal park with break-taking views that quickly drop down past the tree-line and into the hidden valleys, and a must explore for those who prefer less crowded, more remote parks and...

Spent two nights in Sundown National Park (Jan 2022) and enjoyed the time. The track to access Burrows, Reedy creek and Red rock Gorge is very rocky, requires 4wd and has some slight challenging sections. It is 20km of low range driving to get to the Burrows campground which took approximately 90mins to drive. It’s great to have a National Park that requires 4wd. There are some areas in the park that have harder tracks but I did not drive those. Would recommend low range, good tyres (due to rocky track) and to lower...
