Josephine Falls, Natural cascade waterfall in Far North Queensland, Australia
The three-tiered waterfall flows over granite rocks, creating natural swimming pools amid the dense rainforest of Wooroonooran National Park.
The waterfall received its name from Josephine, the daughter of one of the early settlers who established communities in this region of Queensland.
The Indigenous people of Far North Queensland maintain connections to the waterway through their traditional practices and stories passed down through generations.
Visitors can access the falls through a 700-meter rainforest walking track from the parking area, with facilities including restrooms and picnic tables.
The natural granite formation creates a water slide where the clear mountain water descends from Mount Bartle Frere, Queensland's highest peak.
