Description
At Josephine Falls, Wooroonooran National Park, the waters of Josephine Creek plunge over granite boulders forming a turbulent waterfall at the base of Queensland's highest mountain, Bartle Frere (1,622 metres). Surrounding the falls is mesophyll vine forest, the most complex rainforest type in Australia. Take an easy half-hour walk through lush tropical rainforest to viewing decks that offer excellent photo opportunities of this tiered waterfall. Discover a number of plants that normally occur only at higher, cooler altitudes. Listen to the harsh calls of colourful king parrots and look for strutting lace monitors. Access to the top of the falls is restricted, for safety reasons. Wheelchair access is available to the viewing platform at the top pool.
