About
Located in World Heritage Nightcap National Park, Protesters Falls is a must-see while exploring the Lismore Hinterland. The easy 1.4 kilometre walk from Terania Creek Picnic Area winds its way through the Bangalow palm forest to the base of the falls.
Swimming is not permitted in the area as it is home to the endangered Fleay's barred frog.
Protesters Falls and Terania Creek is home to the first successful anti-logging protest in 1979.
