All About

Nandroya Falls

Highlights

The Nandroya Falls Circuit is part of a network of walking trails in the Palmerston section of Wooroonooran National Park, in Far North Queensland. Beginning at the Henrietta Creek campground, the trail to the falls runs about 6.6 kilometres, winding approximately 700 metres into the rainforest before forking to form a circuit. The right-hand fork is about two kilometres longer to reach Nandroya Falls offering scenic views, small rock pools, smaller waterfalls and rapid streams along the way.

The two routes meet just below the picturesque falls, the perfect place to relax and swim and enjoy the Wet Tropics World Heritage rainforest before the return journey.

Important Information

Guidelines

Always do some research before heading out for your journey. Visit the parks website for up to date information on the current conditions. Ensure to check for any updates relating to any warnings that may be issued for the area, and check for the opening and closing times.
Tropical North Queensland is crocodile country. Be croc-wise, particularly around water.
Always enjoy waterfalls from trails and marked viewing points. Do not climb over barriers as cliff edges and slippery surfaces may cause injury or death.
Only swim where permitted. Don’t jump from cliff edges into water bodies.
Swimming near or under waterfalls can be dangerous due to strong currents, submerged hidden rock ledges and other dangers. The force of a waterfall can be incredibly strong and unfortunately, many people have drowned. Follow warning signs and take caution.
Wear suitable footwear and ensure to bring a hat and sunscreen to protect yourself from the elements.
Plan ahead and ensure to take enough food and water for your journey.
Always stay on the marked tracks where possible. Never climb fences, they are there for your own safety.
Please consider the environment, take your rubbish with you or place in the bins provided. We want to ensure these beautiful places are still here for our future generations to enjoy.
Ensure to let a responsible adult know of your plans and report back into them once you have finished exploring for the day.
Leave nothing but footprints. Take nothing but memories.
