Explore the Hinterland & Minyon Falls

For an alternative day out, away from the beaches and shopping of Byron Bay, there are some lovely things to do in the Byron Hinterland

Local Tip: Tailor your route to suit your interests. Head north out of Byron and explore the cute hippy town of Mullumbimby before venturing to the hinterland. Alternatively, take in pretty valley views and the sweeping rural landscape to the sea and Cape Byron by heading south from Byron onto The Hinterland Way, before turning right onto Coolamon Scenic Drive.

To visit the falls, after Federal village, turn left into Repentance Creek Road. Head west and cross Byangerry Creek then coopers creek, go right into Coopers Creek road, left into Minyon Falls Road and then there are 2 parking areas one at the falls and one at the Minyon grass picnic area where the main walk departs from.

Minyon Falls walking track leads through rainforest to a scenic waterfall in Nightcap National Park. The Minyon Falls walking track offers the opportunity to experience a range of forests, pristine creeks and a spectacular waterfall in Nightcap National Park. Winding through Nightcap escarpment, in northern NSW, this beautiful track will challenge and delight bushwalking fans in equal measure.

Leading through dense rainforest, be sure to lookout for the spectacular stand of old-growth Brushbox trees on the western side of Repentance Creek. Stop for a tranquil picnic lunch along the fern-lined creeks.

You can choose to start this track from either of the picnic areas at Minyon Falls. The track links to Boggy Creek walk, which leads north to Rummery Park campground, in neighbouring Whian Whian State Conservation Area. Its not a difficult walk but be sure to have sturdy non slip walking shoes, sunscreen, hats & drinking water.
