Description

Jourama Falls in Paluma Range National Park is a popular camping and picnic area beside rainforest fringed Waterview Creek.

The Jourama Falls track is a pleasant walk through open woodland that leads you across and then upstream along Waterview Creek. The track continues uphill to the lookout where you can see the falls - a series of cascades zigzagging their way down the rocky slope. There is also a path at the bottom of the hill that takes you to some rock pools upstream.
