Blencoe Falls

Blencoe Falls, Segmented waterfall in Girringun National Park, Far North Queensland, Australia

Blencoe Falls is a multi-tiered waterfall in Girringun National Park, in Far North Queensland. The water drops about 90 meters in its first plunge, then continues down another 230 meters through a deep gorge carved into the ranges.

The Warrongo people have lived in this area for thousands of years and are the original connection to this land. The site became known to wider audiences when the second season of the television series Survivor was filmed nearby.

The falls and Blencoe Creek are named after Robert William Archdale Blencowe, a member of the 1866 expedition from Cardwell across the Great Dividing Range; he died of colonial fever in Ipswich on 1 November 1866, shortly after the expedition. The Warrongo people are the traditional custodians of the surrounding land.

A four-wheel-drive vehicle is needed to reach the falls, as the tracks leading from the Kennedy Highway or Mount Garnet are unsealed and can be rough. The dry season is the best time to visit, when the roads are easier to handle and the gorge is more accessible.

Blencoe Falls and Blencoe Creek take their name from Robert William Archdale Blencowe, a member of the 1866 expedition from Cardwell across the Great Dividing Range. He died of colonial fever in Ipswich on 1 November 1866, shortly after the journey, so the falls carry the name of a man who never saw them again.
