Josephine Falls

Josephine Falls is a scenic tiered waterfall in Wooroonooran National Park, about 75 kilometres south of Cairns in Queensland. Fed by Josephine Creek flowing from Mount Bartle Frere, Queensland's highest peak, it features three tiers with a large swimming hole at the base and natural rock slide. Surrounded by lush Wet Tropics rainforest within the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, it is a popular day-use swimming and sightseeing destination accessible via short walking tracks.

Visitors can expect a rainforest setting with short sealed and unsealed walking tracks leading to viewing platforms and swimming areas. The lower area has a large, sandy-bottomed swimming hole fed by the cascade, with a natural rock slide upstream. The middle and upper falls are viewed from platforms and require a steeper climb. Surroundings are dense tropical rainforest with creek pools, boulders and interpretive signs. Facilities are day-use only with no camping at the falls.

Located within Wooroonooran National Park, part of the Wet Tropics of Queensland World Heritage Area inscribed in 1988 for its natural values; Josephine Creek and falls developed as a public recreation area with walking tracks and viewing infrastructure managed by Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service

Located on the traditional lands of the Mamu people and within the Wet Tropics cultural landscape; the rainforest and waterways hold ongoing cultural significance for Traditional Owners
