Youth Week - Cedar Creek Adventure - MBRC Sponsored

Unplug and connect with nature, yourself and others!

A mindful adventure up Cedar Creek will enliven your senses, relax your mind and challenge your body. This natural playground is filled with an abundance of rock pools, tumbling waterfalls and ancient rainforest.

This activity requires a good level of fitness and you must be confident on uneven surfaces. For those 12-25 years old.

Rock-hop up the creek over granite boulders and slabs. Take your shoes off if you dare and feel your connection with the earth. In less than a kilometre we’ll arrive at the main falls where you may swim in the healing tumbling waters. 

Alternatively, you may choose to rest and contemplate by the water’s edge.

Our journey continues above the waterfall as we explore shaded pools and vibrant forest. There's opportunities for for both adventure and individual quiet reflection.

This event is generously sponsored by Moreton Bay Regional Council.
