Places and Drives - The Central Coast - Tully Gorge

As you approach the township of Tully, you are entering the wettest zone of the World Heritage Area. Each year, Tully and nearby Babinda vie for the "Gumboot Award" for the wettest town in Australia. They record over 4 metres (13 feet) of rain every year, and over millions of years, these downpours have gouged out the Tully River Gorge. The result is a wet weather playground for sightseers and white water rafters. There is a camping area, butterfly information walk and raft viewing platforms (the best times are betweeen 11am and 1pm).

How to get there
Access the gorge through Tully township. A 40-minute scenic drive follows the gorge to the Kareeya Hydroelectric Station. For more information contact DNR Cardwell on (07) 4066-8779.
