Log in

Kirrama Range Road

Cairns City, Queensland

Drive through the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area on a former logging trail, considered to be one of Queensland's great engineering feats, to the spectacular Blencoe Falls. The Kirrama Range Road in Girringun National Park has a long Indigenous and pioneering history, and features bridged creek crossings, a roadside waterfall and wide elevated views of the valleys. At Tuckers and Murray Valley Lookouts are signs detailing the history of the road. Near Society Flat in Kirrama National Park is a bora ground (meeting place) where Indigenous tribes once met for initiations, unions, trade of goods and disputes. A boardwalk takes you past kauri pines and rose gums which were logged in the area, showing the difference between open woodland and dense rainforest as well as logged and unlogged areas. The three-hour drive continues to Blencoe Falls which drop 90-metres into a pool before cascading a further 230-meetre into Herbert River Gorge. From the camping area, the five-kilometre Jabali walk goes to the Blencoe Falls and Herbert River Gorge lookouts. Nearby is The Wet Tropics Great Walk, a stunning multi-day hike following the Herbert River. Continue the drive for two hours through cattle stations to Mount Garnet on the Upper Tablelands.
