Just off the Great Northern Hwy in Timber Creek, a track runs from by the council offices down to the creek, from here a walking track leads north along the creek. The creek often flows and has good canopy and pandanus aquaticus along the banks. There is no beach here. We lived and worked here from 2020.
No free camping is allowed in Timber Creek town limits, there are two caravan parks here, both have access to the creek to the south of Hickeys Beach.
