Places To Visit
Murray Falls, Murray Upper National Park
Cardwell
Would you like to..
Murray Falls, Murray Upper National Park is one of north Queensland's prettiest waterfalls, with large volumes of water racing over naturally sculpted pink granite boulders. Rainforested mountains and tropical lowlands meet in the attractive foothills of the Kirrama Range. Information signs along the walking tracks provide opportunities to learn about the Girramay Aboriginal people's culture. Try the moderately graded 930 metre walk through a cool rainforest gully, then up into open forest and spectacular views over the falls and Murray Valley. From the top end of the grassy campground, take a pleasant stroll along the river on a boardwalk. The first 75 metre section of the boardwalk is wheelchair accessible.
