Car
If you're traveling by car, start by heading towards the town of Byron Bay. From Byron Bay, take the Pacific Highway (A1) north towards Ballina.

Continue on this road for about 15 kilometers until you reach the town of Lismore. From Lismore, take the Goonellabah Road and follow it until it merges with the Nimbin Road (Binna Burra Road).

Public Transportation

Once you arrive in Nimbin, you will need to arrange for a taxi or rideshare service to take you to Minyon Falls Lookout, as public transport does not go directly to the lookout. The distance from Nimbin to Minyon Falls is approximately 18 kilometers, and taxi fares can vary based on demand and time of day. It's advisable to confirm the fare with the driver before starting your journey.
-
Walking
For those who enjoy hiking, you can access the Minyon Falls Lookout via the Minyon Falls walking track. If you drive to the parking area at the base of the track, there is a 2.6 kilometers one-way hiking trail that takes you up to the lookout, offering stunning views of the falls and surrounding rainforest. Allow approximately 1-1.5 hours for the hike each way, and be sure to wear appropriate footwear and carry water. The track can be steep in parts, so be prepared for a moderate level of fitness.
