ACCOMMODATION EAST RUSSELL QLD

Watch spectacular Josephine Falls tumbling over giant granite boulders on this short walk through the lush tropical rainforest of Wooroonooran National Park, 75 kilometres south of Cairns. The Falls are part of Josephine Creek which flows from Bartle Frere, Queensland's highest mountain. You can access Josephine Falls by turning off the Bruce Highway 2 kilometres south of Mirriwinni and driving 8 kilometres to Josephine Falls. From the car park it is a 15 minute walk along the boardwalk to platforms where you get an excellent view of the Falls. Wheelchair access is available to the viewing platform at the top pool and stairs lead to the bottom pool. Join the locals for a dip in the icy cold waters of the bottom pool and warm up on the massive granite boulders after your swim. Always check the weather conditions as rain on the mountains can cause flash flooding, making this area unsafe for swimming. ...

The access road runs between the beach and Bluemetal Creek up to the creek mouth. Bush camp in one of five secluded sites next to the beach. Fish at the mouth of the picturesque Bluemetal Creek mouth. Be aware of estuarine crocodiles....

This remote coastal park in northern Cape York Peninsula features long sweeping beaches, rugged heath-clad ranges and the largest area of lowland tropical rainforest in Australia. The park protects a unique collection of wildlife, including mammals, frogs, lizards and snakes that are found nowhere else, and is a refuge for birds that are rare in Australia but also live in New Guinea. Enjoy bush camping by the river or creek in the rainforest, or behind the dunes at Chilli Beach, in the park's popular camping areas. Take the 10 kilometre one-way walk following the Old Coen track through rainforest and open woodland where birdwatching is excellent. At night, spotlight for green pythons and common spotted cuscus.
