If you want to have a varied walk on your way back stay on the same side of the creek and do a loop around Maleny Golf Course, taking Obi Lane and Porters Lane to reconnect to the cement section of the trail.
The Spicers Tamarind resort and restaurant are across the creek near Gardners Falls and just down Obi Lane South – for when you have a special occasion to celebrate.
