INTRODUCTION

If you feel energetic, climb Edinburgh Castle just off the loop road, for magnificent views.The road brings you out onto the Clarence Way, just south of Urbenville. The drive back to Urbenville passes through the Yabbra Forest, where State Forests has provided a picnic area and short walking track into the Rainforest. Allow around 2hrs plus breaks for the round trip.

Beaury Forest Loop Road / Tooloom Falls / Urbenville

An interesting short rural drive, passing through dry hardwood and moist hardwood State Forests and cleared agricultural land. Whilst the agricultural activities are mainly focussed on beef cattle, some times of the year, you may see large cultivated paddocks of corn. Recently some eucalypt timber plantations have also been established in the valley. Travel west from Woodenbong along the Mount Lindsay Highway towards Tenterfield. Turn left onto Beaury Creek Rd (gravel), and travel along the valley.

You will pass the turn off to Levuka Rainforest Recreation 4wd Park on the left. Proceed until the end of the road, and turn left onto the bitumen. Proceed to Tooloom Falls, the first turn on the right.

NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service maintain a picnic and camping area at the spectacular Falls, which are 8 metres high and drop into a broad deep pool. Tooloom is corrupted from the Gidabal word Dooloomi, which means headlice! Tooloom Falls is one of the most significant sites in Gidabal country and was declared an aboriginal place in 1977 under the National Parks and Wildlife Act. Respect the site, admire the view, take some photographs; but stay well back from the edge and off slippery rocks.
Allow around 1hr plus breaks for the round trip.
