RAINFOREST WATERFALLS TOUR HIGHLIGHTS
CONNECT WITH TRADITIONAL OWNERS
Connect with Traditional Owners, proud descendants of the Yidinji and Mbabaram peoples, to learn more about their rainforest culture at the magnificent Cathedral Fig Tree. They’ll share stories of lived histories passed down through generations and an unbroken connection to country, showing tools and other implements.
CATHEDRAL FIG TREE
The Cathedral Fig Tree is visually breathtaking, from its impressive tangle of roots to its array of branches that reach wide into the canopy, 50m above the forest floor and covered in ferns and vines. This 500 year-old tree is environmentally and culturally significant and your guide will explain more of this, during the 45-minute tour with Traditional Owners.
BABINDA BOULDERS
For the Traditional Owners, the Yidinji tribe, this is a place of legends and love stories. A hauntingly beautiful destination and popular swimming spot, at the foothill of Queensland’s highest mountain.
JOSEPHINE FALLS
Can you ride the natural rock slide? Yes you can! Walk through the rainforest to discover a beautiful cool pool of fresh rainforest water which flows down from above, over smooth boulders.
CRAWFORDS LOOKOUT
Wooroonooran National Park is a diverse landscape dominated by towering mountains, cloaked in thick rainforest. It conceals many rivers and ravines, but you get a glimpse of them at Crawfords Lookout.
MILLAA MILLAA FALLS
Contender for prettiest rainforest waterfall in Australia. Framed by tree ferns, Millaa Millaa cascades over a rock ledge, tumbles past basalt columns and splashes down to a swimming pool below.
LUNCH AT MALANDA
Stop in for lunch and a cool beverage at The Top Rail restaurant and bistro in Malanda. This great little local venue has fresh and tasty meals and there’s even a mechanical bull, if you’re keen to try some skills. (Bull is extra cost).
LAKE EACHAM
Beautiful crater lake that embodies a peacefulness at odds with its ancient volcanic origins. No water flows in or out of Lake Eacham, which is a natural catchment for rainwater. Refresh your spirit with a swim.
