Sandy Creek Circuit, Mt Tamborine

A few photos of this mornings walk around the Sandy Creek circuit at the Knoll section of Mt Tamberine National Park. After reaching the top of the falls via a concrete bridge the path continued to the Cameron Falls lookout for a view of the falls.

Cameron Falls from the lookout.
It was real Tarzan territory with huge vines draped around the canopy. We came across this monster suspended across the path.
The roots of this tree spread for approx 75 metres around boulders making an exotic path edging.
A marvellous examples of a buttress root tree.
Strangler Fig wrapped around the trunk of a huge tree. Part of the trunk can be seen in the centre of the vine.
Faye standing beside the hollow trunk of an enormous Flooded Gum to give a concept of the size. The trunk was dark brown at the base and turned silver white from the line seen in the picture to the tree top.
