Description
Jumrum Creek Conservation Park protects a small pocket of rainforest in the middle of the Kuranda township.
The Jurum Creek walk may be accessed via Barang Street or via Barron Falls Road, both of which have small parking bays. At Barron Falls Road, the track continues for two kilometres (45 minutes) to Barron Gorge National Park and the Barron Falls lookout. At Barang Street, walkers must return the way they came. Alternatively, the walk may be undertaken as part of a longer, well-signposted circuit through Kuranda township beginning at the Kuranda Visitor Information Centre in Therwine Street.
