Log in

Ravenshoe to Georgetown Trail

Cairns City, Queensland

You'll see natural wonders including Australia's widest waterfall and volcanic lava tubes on this drive from the high plateau of the Atherton Tablelands into the grasslands of the Gulf Savannah. Start your journey at Ravenshoe, the highest town in Queensland where you will find the highest pub and railway station. Ravenshoe is also famous for Millstream Falls, the widest waterfall in Australia. Stop at Innot Hot Springs to enjoy the thermal waters, then walk in the path of a volcano at the Undara Lava Tubes, formed by volcanic activity about 190,000 years ago. Continue on to Georgetown with its restored historical buildings including the 1908 Shire Hall. Don't miss the magnificent mineral display at TerrEstrial. Another mining relic is found 20 kilometres west of the town, the Cumberland Chimney, which is all that stands of the gold crushing plant. Head south to Forsayth, one of the stops for the weekly tourist train The Savannahlander and see a serene hidden outback oasis, Cobbold Gorge, south of this township. Visit Copperfield Gorge at Einasleigh before heading to The Lynd Junction. Stop at The Oasis Roadhouse and enjoy a drink at Queensland's smallest bar. From the Junction, head north to return to Ravenshoe.
