Boundary Falls campground and picnic area

Just a short drive off the main road between Glen Innes and Grafton, the Boundary Falls campground and picnic area is tucked away in scenic dry forest on the site of an old sawmill. With everything you need, this is a great spot to unfurl the tent and set up camp for a few days.

Take advantage of the open spaces with some light sport, or pass an afternoon in the shade of eucalypts with the tempting aroma of barbecue in the air. With spectacular waterfalls nearby, it's a good idea to pack the camera.

Adventurous travellers might want to tackle the walk to Duffer Creek or the more challenging, multi-day Gibraltar-Washpool World Heritage walk. Keep an eye out for signs in the area, explaining local history, wildlife and flowers, like the state flower, the red waratah, which bloom here throughout the year.
