Josephine Falls

We see your waterparks and raise you the natural kind, Josephine Falls, found an hour south of Cairns. This granite playground sits among the foothills of Queensland’s highest mountain, Mount Bartle Frere, and is a waterfall lover’s paradise complete with rockslide that will see you scooting toes first into the emerald-green pools below. Togs and a towel are all you need for this waterhole, which is only a short, 600m walk (or 1.2km return) from the car park.

Please note: Stay clear of the restricted access area as serious injuries and deaths have occurred here. Penalties apply. Water conditions can be unpredictable and hazardous. Obey all safety signs and only swim in the designated area.
