Bloomfield Falls

Bloomfield Falls is a waterfall in Daintree National Park that drops approximately 40 meters over multiple tiers of ancient rock. The water flows through dense rainforest where steep cliffs and lush vegetation frame the cascade in a natural rocky setting.

The falls form part of the Bloomfield River system, which has existed for over 100 million years alongside the development of the Daintree rainforest. This region maintained continuous forest cover through vast geological time periods, making it one of the oldest surviving rainforests on Earth.

The Kuku Yalanji people consider this water source sacred, featuring prominently in their traditional stories and spiritual practices. The falls and surrounding landscape represent a deep connection to land that extends back through many generations of their community.

The track to the falls follows unmaintained paths where you will need to wade through water sections. Sturdy footwear is essential, and wet rocks can become slippery especially during or after rain.

The falling water creates a natural echo effect where sound bounces off the surrounding rock walls in unexpected ways. This acoustic property transforms the experience into something visitors remember through sound as much as sight.
