Things To Do - General Information

Tropical North Queensland is the sort of place that you could travel to over and over again and still not see everything. If scenic panoramas are what you're after, you can travel along 600 km (372 miles) of roads throughout the World Heritage Area, including 40 scenic routes, and choose from over 100 scenic spots to visit. These include features like Queensland's highest peaks, Bartle Frere and Bellenden Ker, and Australia's longest single-drop waterfall, the 305 metre (1,000 foot) Wallaman Falls.

There are about 150 managed walks in the Wet Tropics. They range from short, popular boardwalks with visitor facilities to long distance treks with overnight camping. Go walking, and enjoy spectacular scenery, swim in the waterholes and experience the wide range of Wet Tropics environments. Learn about the plants and animals and the need to conserve and protect the Wet Tropics as a natural and Aboriginal cultural landscape. Find out about the many diverse walks available in the Wet Tropics and search our database for a walk to suit your needs.

The Wet Tropics Great Walk is the longest of Queensland's Great Walks. It traverses 110km of rugged north Queensland landscapes in Girringun National Park, west of Cardwell and Ingham. The walk links two of Queensland's most beautiful waterfalls - Wallaman Falls and Blencoe Falls.
