Places and Drives - The Northern Tropics - Mossman Gorge

Mossman Gorge is one of the most visited spots in the Wet Tropics. Part of the Daintree National Park, the gorge is the traditional home of the Kuku Yalanji Aboriginal people. Take a cultural tour and visit the art gallery at Mossman Gorge to learn more about their unique Rainforest Aboriginal culture. There is a 2.4km (1.5 mile) self-guided walking track and day use area in the national park. If you go near the water, be careful - the rocks are often slippery and the water is fast flowing.

How to get there
Take the signposted turnoff in Mossman and drive 6km (3.7 miles) to the Gorge.
