- In this video, we explore some of the BEST Waterfalls and Swimming Holes in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland....
1. GARDNERS FALLS
Obi Lane South, Maleny QLD 4552
Gardners Falls is a hidden gem in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Leave your vehicle in the car park on the banks of the Obi Obi Creek and take a short, level walk downstream to the falls.
Picnic tables and toilets are available.
2. KONDALILLA FALLS
Kondalilla Falls Rd, Flaxton, QLD 4560
From the Kondalilla Falls car park, walk 100 metres downhill (with steps) to a large grassed picnic area with barbecues, picnic tables and toilets. Walking tracks lead to features including rock pools, lookouts and waterfalls. From the top of Kondalilla Falls, Skene Creek drops 90m into the lush rainforest valley below. If you want to swim at Kondalilla Falls, it’s best to wait for the warmer weather, when rains make the falls increase. However, the park can be enjoyed year-round, thanks to warm summers and mild winters on the Sunshine Coast.
Picnic tables, BBQ's and toilets are available.
3. WAPPA FALLS
Wappa Falls Road, Kiamba, QLD 4560
Wappa Falls is a scenic swimming hole around 20 metres wide, right by a small waterfall in Kiamba. It's a beautiful area to go for a bushwalk and a swim.
There are picnic tables, BBQs, a children's playground and toilets available at nearby Wappa Dam.
4. BUDERIM (Serenity) FALLS
Two Entrances:
Lindsay Road, via Harry's Lane, Buderim, QLD 4556
or
Upper Quorn Close, Buderim, QLD 4556
This picturesque waterfall and the surrounding tranquil rock pools and sub-tropical rainforest are mere minutes away from the beach and the quaint village of Buderim, yet feel unbelievably secluded.
Picnic tables, BBQs and toilets are available.
5. GHEERULLA FALLS
Delicia Road, Gheerulla, QLD 4574
The lesser-known Gheerulla Falls offers a scenic walk through Mapleton Falls National Park and is definitely worth a visit after rainfall.
There are no facilities at this location.

Gidday,
We're Beth & Paul from Australia and we love living in Queensland!
When Paul retired in 2020, we set out on a 6-month South East Asia adventure.
This is when we began making little videos and posting them on RUclips.
However, our timing wasn't great - with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic less than a month into our travels.
When the pandemic eased, we moved from Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, where we live a peaceful lifestyle surrounded by nature, grow many of our own fruits and vegetables, and enjoy free-range eggs from our chickens and honey from our bees!
Nowadays, we mainly travel around our region to show you the natural beauty of South East Queensland. Our aim is to make you feel like you're exploring these places with us 🤗
We continue to make little videos and invite you to follow along as we make regular trips and take our cameras to share our way of life and travel experiences with you......
We aim to post our videos fortnightly 😊

Thanks Beth and Paul. Enjoyed seeing the falls.
Thanks so much!
It's so nice to see you guys posting again! I hope you and your family have a great 2024! Thanks for all the wonderful videos
Thanks so much Lilli ❤️ we hope 2024 is a great year for you too!
Have misaed you guys ❤. Hope 2024 is a fantastic year for you all.
Thanks so much, we hope it’s a great year for you too!
These falls looks spectacular. I'd love to go swimming at one of these. Wow so many people at Kondalilla Falls. I wanna go to that one.
Hi Imogen! Yes, Kondalilla Falls and the entire National Park are really pretty ❤️
I love waterfalls! In Japan, there are a lot of mountains, so there are a lot of waterfalls, too! I love visiting those waterfalls, which each have unique features and history behind it. Japan's main region, Shinto, regards nature symbols as gods, so those waterfalls usually have interesting stories. The waterfalls you showed me look so much fun since people are swimming and enjoying! 😍 I want to visit them some day 😆
We had a wonderful time visiting Japan for the very first time last year! We saw some beautiful waterfalls in Japan…thank you for sharing information about Japanese waterfalls 😊 We hope you can swim in our waterfalls one day!
Thanks you for wonderful beach
Beautiful falls. ❤❤
EXCELLENT video. Donna and I were quietly excited as you were introducing this episode. Sure enough... the was Wappa Falls! Our niece and her family live only a few minutes from Wappa Falls and we can probably easily go to experience them, at least, when we hopefully get to Australia for the entire month of May.
Thanks David and Donna 😊 Not long to go now…May’s not that far away!
@@BethandPaultravel But Australia is! ....LOL...... The long leg of the flight is about 15 hours non stop. The short leg is about 5 hours. If you happen by the airport, we'll be the two old crocks crawling out the door. 😵😵💫
Fabulous, just fabulous can't wait to see them when I finally get there, Thank you
Thanks Finlay 😊
Impressive with that many waterfalls in a day! After the lovely morning we all had together in the cafe, me and Steve went to Kondallila Falls so it was lovely to re-visit that through your video. Really enjoyed seeing all the other falls you went to as well and wow that is pretty hot for all that walking! 🤗😊
Hi Julie and Steve! It’s been very humid this summer as we are experiencing plenty of rainfall after the dry spell. Perfect weather for the waterfalls! Kondalilla Falls are very pretty aren’t they and very popular in Summer as you can see. We had a great morning with you both ❤️
❤@@BethandPaultravel Aww thanks.! Yes they are very pretty, we really enjoyed it there
So good to see, went to Kondallilla a few weeks ago and it was completely dry. This rain was desperately needed.
That’s so true Patricia! We thought of you when we were at Buderim but figured it was too short notice to see if you would like to meet up for a coffee 🤗
Just lovely!
Thanks so much Karl!
Thankyou, so very much, for showing us the Great videos of the Waterfalls, out Hinterland, Sunshine Coast.
I would not of got to see it, if it hadn't been for You.
Wishing you a Happy New Year 🌈🥳💕
Thanks Rose, we’re happy you enjoyed this video 😊 Happy New Year to you too !
That Kondalilla Falls is truly inviting while Wappa Falls looks scary... LOL!
Ha ha Daryl, we agree with you! We’re getting very excited about our Malaysia trip and have been going back through your videos rewatching them and picking up ones we missed, which only gets us more excited! So many new places to explore since our last visit in 2019. We’re looking forward to meeting you too!
beautifull place
Just awesome places to visit. Thanks for sharing them with us 😮
Thanks Ana 😊 We’re happy that you enjoyed this one!
As usual you guys have knocked it out of the park 🤩 We are so envious because you are actually living our life, all that's in the way is the sale of our Pommie home. Still, we get 3 weeks in paradise in February and Gheerulla Falls has been added to the ever-increasing list of things to check out. BTW, Serentity Falls is fed by Buderim's storm water drain system hence the murky appearance.
Thanks so much 🤗 A good itinerary for a day trip to our Hinterland area would be Mary Cairncross scenic reserve …after a quick walk to see the pademelons, have a coffee or tea overlooking the glasshouse mountains there. Then drive to Gardners Falls (5 mins away) for a stroll along Obi Creek before making your way into Maleny township for a wander….dont forget to check out the Chocolate Factory and pick up some picnic supplies at Maleny Bakery….then drive through the pretty township of Montville to Kondalilla Falls where you can enjoy your picnic lunch in their picturesque picnic area before taking the walk to the falls. Stop at The Barn in Flaxton before leaving the Hinterland for their famous Devonshire tea with date and ginger scones (one serve of scones is plenty for two people to share) and enjoy looking at their knick-knacks! 3 weeks is a good amount of time to explore everywhere 😉
@@BethandPaultravel You guys are just the best. Your suggested itinerary has been saved, we will deffo allocate a day to doing it. Bronwyn is pulling up your Flaxton video as I type 👍
Great 😊 Montville is also a cute little town, but you might want to save that for another morning (most shops are closed in Montville by 2pm). Eumundi Market, Kenilworth Dairy and the Ginger factory are also another great day out and free entry to all of them 😊
I had to smile you were talking about swimming and there was a sign on the post behind you saying. “no swimming because of debris”. Hope this year is better for your family.
Ha ha, thanks Jemima! We noticed that too when we were doing the editing 😳
And contaminants!
You can tell just by looking at the water quality.
So nice to see you happy and posting again the waterfalls look lovely always look forward to your new videos.
Thanks so much Tiree! We’re so happy to be back posting again too 😊
Thank you for the great videos and the opportunity you provide for "virtual" travels and exploring. A question: In the ABC series Darby and Joan there is a very appealing waterfall in episode 7 - would you perhaps recognise it? I'm interested about where it might be.
Hi Julie 😊 we’re really pleased that you’re enjoying our videos! We’ve just found this episode on ABC’s iView and the waterfall is beautiful but not recognisable to us. We think it may be in Cairns. Queensland has so many beautiful waterfalls…..hopefully, one of our viewers reads your question and knows the answer! BTW, it looks like a good series….we’re going to start at episode 1 🤗
So nice to have you guys back doing great videos. Harriet and I close our eyes and relax and just listen to the sounds of the waterfalls and then open our eyes as though we are there.
It takes us to that safe happy place. As always, well done. Sending much love ❤ from Richmond, Va. Harriet, Jim and Yuki
Thanks so much Harriet and Jim 🤗 There’s nothing more peaceful than the sound of water, is there? We hope your new year is off to a good start!
GREAT TO SEE YOU GUYS BACK
Thanks Bob 🤗
So many people have died/ paralysed at gardeners, that's if your car isn't broken into.
Hi Gus, as locals, we are aware of accidents at this location and we have witnessed locals and tourists taking risks by using the swing rope, not checking the water depth or being aware of debris under the water or the strong currents. The Sunshine Coast Council recently asked for community feedback to improve the safety in this area. Some of the improvements they are considering include improvements to signage, access and minor amenity upgrades. Swimming in natural water has unknown risks and hopefully the suggested improvements will result in a better understanding of the risks at this location so that all visitors are informed on how to manage their own safety.
alison me johns eyesite is bad eyes now .its a shame for him.
