Places and Drives - The Central Coast - Babinda Boulders
The Boulders are a popular swimming hole and picnic
area for locals and tourists, and a place of spiritual significance
for Aboriginal people. Unfortunately, the fast-flowing creek has
a reputation for claiming the lives of unwary visitors through a
combination of fast water, slippery boulders and careless behaviour.
The 19km (12 mile) Goldfield Track connects Babinda Boulders with
the Goldsborough Valley, crossing a low saddle in the Bellenden
Ker Range. Check track conditions with the rangers first on (07)
4067-6304 before you consider this hike.
How to get there
The Boulders are 7km inland from Babinda. Turn off the Bruce Highway
into Babinda and stop at the volunteer-run Babinda Information Centre
for directions (open 9 to 4 pm daily).
