A magical short walk through a mossy myrtle rainforest beside Pencil Pine Creek in the Cradle Mountain area. Ancient trees draped in moss create an otherworldly atmosphere especially in misty conditions. The well-maintained boardwalk is suitable for all ages and abilities. Platypus are sometimes spotted in the creek at dawn and dusk making it worth a quiet visit at these times.
Know before you go
Best in misty or rainy conditions for atmosphere. Look for platypus in the creek at dawn and dusk. Boardwalk can be slippery when wet.
