Nandroya Falls

Scenic spot

👍👍 Absolutely spectacular falls! There are three different places to see falls along the track and the walk is not challenging. Just requires a little creek crossing. If the current is not too strong it is safe for a swim. Just be careful - you don't want to accidentally step on something sharp. I woul...

Hynes Lookout

Scenic spot

👍👍 Just lovely! Fitness fanatic? - walk ride or run to it. A little worn out like us? - drive and walk a few stairs. The view is worth it.

Ellinjaa Falls

Scenic spot

👍👍 This waterfall is gorgeous! It’s is a very short walk with a lot of stairs but very worth the walk down. Once you get down there, there’s so much to explore. You can explore the rocks, the stream, or even go for a swim in the water hole created by the falls. It’s a seriously s beautiful place and o...

Flagstaff Hill Lookout

Scenic spot

Mount Hypipamee Crater

Scenic spot

👍👍 Nice formed path up to the crated with a lookout platform. The track to the falls is uneven and slippery. Last time we were here we seen a cassowary, but no luck this time. The carpark has a toilet and picnic area. The walk is only short to the viewing platform.

Hinchinbrook Lookout

Scenic spot

Rotary Lookout

Scenic spot

👍👍 This lookout is great. However if you’re just going to the Rotary Lookout, don’t be deterred by the sign that says “experienced hikers” at the beginning. It’s an easy walk to the lookout, the path is clear and there are well made steps. You can continue on to other areas, I don’t know what that trac...

Tchupala Falls

Scenic spot

👍👍 Short walk and beautiful! The end of the track has been blocked off… but stairs continue… who knows… Check out more at: @ultimateaussiebucketlist (insta, FB, web)

Crawford's Lookout

Scenic spot

👍👍 Great little stop on the highway. Just pull up on the road side, and there will be a fence and a path leading to the lookout. You could do this on the way if you were visiting Nandroya, Tchulpa and Walliacha falls. Great view, but please don't leave your rubbish behind.

4.50 (100 reviews) (~212.72 km from centre)

Clump Point Lookout

Scenic spot

👍 Great lookout over mission beach and Great Barrier Reef 🪸.

4.50 (40 reviews) (~172.6 km from centre)

Dinner Falls

Scenic spot

👍👍 Absolutely beautiful. It would definitely be in the top 10 in the region. Fairly easy walk but requires some uphill and downhill work. Good place for a dip. Always feels commercialised a bit when they’ve poured concrete around some areas so you can walk, but pretty nonetheless. Check out more at: @...

Cedar Creek Falls

Scenic spot

👍👍 Beautiful natural waterfall. Short Drive from the main road straight to the falls. No walking/hiking required. Just park your car and you are there. The water was so cool and clean. There is a short walk up to the top of the falls if you wanted to explore. However it is rugged, steep and can be wet...

Zillie Falls, Qld

Scenic spot

Thundering cascade on the Waterfalls Circuit, framed by dense vegetation & with a viewing platform.

4.40 (511 reviews) (~233.37 km from centre)

Attie Creek Falls

Scenic spot

👍👍 My sport watch said 500m one way. It took 7min on a fast walking pace with normal sport shoes. Flip Flops possible but would advised against it. The dip in was definitely worth it and the view was great. We were there in March and had plenty of water.

Malanda Falls

Scenic spot

👍👍 A lovely little waterfall which has a swimming area at the base. It looks like some work is being done to add additional stairs into the swimming area. The information centre close by has lots of information and a great little display of animals from the area. The cafe close by also has great home m...
