Davies Creek Falls, Waterfall in Far North Queensland, Australia
Davies Creek Falls is a waterfall in Far North Queensland where water plunges over granite rock faces in a series of distinct drops reaching over 100 meters in total height. The cascade creates multiple sections as it descends, with the main drop stretching about 75 meters.
The waterfall is part of Davies Creek National Park, which was established to protect the natural features of the Atherton Tableland region. The creation of this park reflects efforts to preserve the land's geological and environmental qualities over time.
This location holds meaning for Aboriginal communities who have long connections to the land and its features. Visitors can sense how deeply rooted the area is in the traditions and relationship with nature of the people who belong here.
You can reach the falls with a short drive along Davies Creek Road from Kennedy Highway, with parking available at the starting point. Wear sturdy shoes for walking and bring water, especially on warm days, to make the visit more comfortable.
At the top section of the waterfall sits a natural pool where visitors can swim while taking in views of the surrounding landscape. This hidden swimming hole creates a special place to cool off and rest during a visit.
