Ju Raku En.  It's open from 0700-dusk daily and has a donation tin at the gate for entry.    There are chairs, picnic tables and huts scattered around, as well as plenty of rock or grass options to take a seat and ponder life (or bird watch).
What an amazing drive to find this location, all up the range there are some breath taking views. You park right across the road from the caravan park in a little picnic area, there are barbecues and tables and chairs and just a short walk from there is the look out to Queen Mary Falls. You can choose to continue along the trail until it reaches the bottom. The trail is accessible all the way and an easy walk. And the falls is breath taking
