Woodford Oaks Trail is a wide track as it's a fire management road that passes though eucalyptus forests and past streams, watering holes, reservoirs, camp sites, picnic areas, and archaeological sites like Bora Ground. The entire trail stretches from Woodford to Glenbrook spanning almost 28 kilometres in total. The track can be taken as an out and back or, for ambitious bushwalkers and bikers, an end-to-end adventure. The track starts and ends very close to Woodford and Glenbrook train stations. This area can get hot in summer. During severe heatwaves, temperatures can occasionally soar past 40° C, so plan accordingly.

Cataract Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

Cataract Falls is the largest and most intricate waterfall along the circuit, cascading in several tiers down Cataract Creek. A network of trails provides access to various viewpoints, including a lower plunge pool and a mid-level platform where the water flows over beautiful orange-stained rock slabs. The multiple layers and changing perspectives make this stop particularly captivating, as the water splits and reunites as it descends.

Adelina Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

Adelina Falls is a small waterfall on Lawson Creek, dropping about 15 metres into a sheltered, gully lined with ferns. A short side track leads down to its base, where a footbridge crosses the creek, and the exposed clay beneath the falls gives the rock a distinctive orange tint. The setting feels enclosed and shaded, with water slipping over rock ledges into a quiet pool at the bottom.
