There are many relatively secret places whose whereabouts only a local would know. A tranquil waterfall in Nambour certainly fits that description.

Rheanna Mahon from recently opened Pit-Stop Coffee in Price Street took this great photo of Robinson’s Falls and recommended people take time out to visit the natural gem. 

The falls are at the end of Waterfall Road, Nambour, which is just off Mapleton Road and directly opposite Nambour General Hospital.

There’s a 10.5 hectare Cilento Bushland Conservation Reserve. It includes a grassy park area with small children’s playground, BBQ and toilet amenities surrounded by bushland. After a short walk into the bush you’ll find yourself at the base of the falls.

You can watch Tuckers Creek tumble down two side-by-side cascades into a pretty waterhole below.

Cilento Bushland Conservation Reserve itself is a World War II memorial. The area was occupied by the 7th Battery 2/4th Field Artillery during the Second World War.

It was donated to Maroochy Shire Council in 1952 by Sir Ralph and Dame Phyllis Cilento, who were both prominent Sunshine Coast medical practitioners.

Interestingly, they were the parents of theatre and film actress Diane Cilento, who was actor Sean Connery’s first wife.
