A fantastic way to spend a family day out!
The Rainforest and Reef Visitor Centre, Cardwell Bush Telegraph Museum and Information Centre, Girringun Art Centre and the Hinchinbrook Art Gallery are all great places to learn about the region, it’s history and it’s vibrant communities.
Surrounds
The Carwell Forest Drive is a 26 km loop which visits the Cardwell Lookout, Attie Creek Falls, Dead Horse Creek and the famous Cardwell Spa Pool. The drive its suitable for most weather conditions but the gravel roads and creek crossings maybe effected by heavy rains.
Notable waterfalls in the area include Wallaman Falls, Australia’s highest single drop waterfall (305m), the remote but spectacular Blencoe Falls as well as the nearby, beautiful Murray Falls.
For the more sporting inclined a game of golf, tennis or bowls is on offer. For even more adventure, how about a white water rafting trip down the nearby Tully Gorge. You can even enjoy some local markets almost all year round.
