Barron Falls.
THUNDERING WATERFALLS
There’s certainly no shortage of stunning
waterfalls within the tablelands. Taking day
trips, you can venture to a handful that are in
close proximity to Mareeba. We recommend
packing a picnic and taking your time to enjoy
any of the following falls.
Barron Falls: A steep, tiered cascade waterfall
that we first spotted when we visited
Kuranda. If you happen to be a little queasy
with heights, we’ll warn you that this lookout
platform has a glass bottom. These falls can
also be seen from travelling on the Kuranda
Scenic Railway.
Crystal Cascades: A popular spot for
swimming and a trail walk, you’ll find many
vantage points to view the flow of the water
down the mountain. Swimming is allowed in
designated areas and you’ll be able to spot
many fish and even turtles frequenting the
water, too.
Davies Creek Falls: Located in Dinden
National Park, Mareeba, a 20-minute walk
through woodlands will bring you to a lookout,
where you can witness the spectacular falls
drop 75m to the small pools below.
Emerald Creek Falls: Arguably our favourite
falls to visit, and only around 10 minutes from
Mareeba, these falls have created many
smaller cascades and pools where you can
stop for a swim and picnic along the pathway
to the larger falls.
