About Minnamurra Rainforest Centre
Minnamurra Rainforest Centre is the visitor hub for Budderoo National Park near Jamberoo in the Kiama local government area, New South Wales. Set in remnant subtropical and warm temperate rainforest on the Illawarra escarpment, it provides access to elevated boardwalks and walking tracks to Minnamurra Falls. The centre offers interpretive displays, a cafe and education facilities, and is notable for its accessible rainforest experience, diverse flora and fauna, and well-maintained falls walk.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a purpose-built visitor centre with interpretive displays, cafe and shop set at the edge of dense rainforest. From the centre, elevated boardwalks and paved tracks lead through palm groves, figs and ferns along Minnamurra River. The Lyrebird Loop is a short, relatively flat circuit, while the longer Falls Walk continues via stairs and lookouts to the upper and lower Minnamurra Falls. The environment is cool, shaded and rich in birdlife, with picnic areas near the car park.
