Goldsborough Valley, Wooroonooran National Park
Cairns
Would you like to..
Goldsborough Valley, Wooroonooran National Park is that section of the park nestled at the base of the rugged Bellenden Ker Range, protecting World Heritage-listed rainforest in the Mulgrave valley. The traditional homeland of the Yidinydji Aboriginal people, the area was the site of a productive goldfield in the 1870s and 1880s. Relax and enjoy a picnic or set up camp in the large grassy picnic area and campground beside the winding Mulgrave River. Take a short walk through the rainforest to Kearneys Falls. A longer hike, the 18 kilometre Goldfield track, passes between Queensland's two highest mountains (Bartle Frere and Bellenden Ker) and leads to the Boulders Scenic Reserve near Babinda.
