Starting at Upper Falls carpark, enjoy an easy 1hr walk to the first 2 lookouts at Upper Ebor Falls. You’ll get sensational views of the ever-flowing Ebor Falls from here. Take a moment to listen to the mighty roar of the Guy Fawkes River cascading over 2 dramatic waterfalls.
Continue south along the edge of the escarpment, before reaching the Lower Falls lookouts and carpark. Along the way, you’ll be treated to striking valley landscape scenery, while taking in bushland sounds from the scrub.
Keep your eyes peeled for wedge-tailed eagles often seen soaring above this area. Muurlay Garriirlgundi track is named after these amazing birds and translates to ‘track belonging to eagle’. Superb fairy wrens and crimson rosellas are among the other bird species that call this special place home.
Spring is a great time to visit, when the track is peppered with a vibrant display of banksias, mountain violets and rice flowers. You might also see black thorns or copper-wire daisies along the escarpment.
After completing the walk, treat yourself to a barbecue lunch when you get back to Upper Falls. If you prefer, head into Ebor Village via Village walking track where you can grab a coffee.
