Kondalilla Falls

Montville · Queensland · Australia

Kondalilla Falls — hero

Kondalilla Falls is a waterfall of about 90 metres in Kondalilla National Park, in the Sunshine Coast hinterland of Queensland, Australia. The Kondalilla Falls circuit is 4.7 km, takes 2 to 3 hours and has more than 300 stairs, which I'll come back to because they matter.

We did the walk straight after a wander around Montville, and the weather kept switching between sun and rain. This post is about how that went, what the rainforest was like, and what I'd tell anyone planning the same day.
