Day trip idea: Coolatai to Macintyre Falls

From Coolatai country, Kwiambal National Park is the standout nature day trip. Aim for Macintyre Falls lookout and picnic area, then the rock-pool walk if conditions suit.

Book Lemon Tree Flat if you want to stay overnight. Check NSW National Parks alerts before you leave — heat, cold, fire danger and road conditions matter out here. Carry water, tell someone your plans, and do not rely on mobile coverage.
