Park at the Witches Falls carpark and head to the left down the single track. You'll reach the bottom of the track in 1 km. Follow the circuit track for another 600 m. Do not take the right turn to stay on the Witches Falls circuit. Head straight ahead and follow the signage to the Witches Falls lookout.
Continue up the track until it exits at Beacon Road parking lot. Turn around and head back the way you came.
At the Witches Creek circuit turnoff (4.5 km) turn left to explore the circuit previously unseen.
Beautiful native rainforest with large palms and fig trees. Leeches, snakes and other Ozzie critters may be present. Trail crosses over Fenwick Creek. Good views at the Witches Falls lookout point on a non overcast day.
