Admire Australia's highest single-drop waterfall, Wallaman Falls, at Girringun National Park near Ingham before driving to Cardwell to access Hinchinbrook Island, Australia's largest island national park. Discover swimming holes and waterfalls, especially beautiful Murray Falls in Girramay National Park, around Cardwell. Camp beside the mighty Tully River or go on a butterfly walk at Tully Gorge National Park. Mission Beach is surrounded by national parks with Djiru and Clump Mountain national parks on the mainland and Family Islands National park centring around Dunk Island. Walk through a forest of fan palms, swim in a cool creek or admire the views from the summit of Mount Kootaloo on Dunk Island. Woroonooran National Park is accessed along the picturesque Palmerston Highway, near Innisfail, with highlights including the Mamu Rainforest Canopy Walkway. On the Atherton Tablelands there is a waterfalls circuit including Millaa Millaa Falls. Take a short side trip to Bromfield Swamp to see a variety of birds including brolgas and marvel at the eerie, green stillness of Hypipamee Crater.
