Nestled within the enchanting World Heritage Nightcap National Park, Protesters Falls should definitely be on your list when you're exploring the charming Lismore Hinterland. This spot is not just about the destination but also the journey. The trail is an easy walk that meanders through a lush bangalow palm forest, leading you to the breathtaking base of the falls. The sound of cascading water mixed with the whispers of the forest creates a serene symphony that feels both calming and invigorating.
Fun fact: Protesters Falls was named in honor of the environmental protests that helped save this area from logging in the late 1970s. It's not just a natural wonder, but a symbol of the power of community and conservation. While you're there, keep an eye out for the elusive Fleay’s barred frog, a rare species that calls this rainforest home. Remember to pack your camera, as the picturesque scenery is something you’ll want to capture and share with friends.
