The Boulders - Devil's Pool Walk

30 min to 45 min

Starting from the end of Bartle Frere Goldfield Road, Babinda, this return walk takes you to the foreshore of Babinda Creek where there are rock pools and cascades, visiting a couple of lookouts along the way. You should definitely pack your swimmers for this one as the charming swimming holes along the creek are not to be missed. Some of the granite boulders will dazzle you with their sheer size, adding to the scenery. After all the fun, you can have a nice picnic in the day use area where there are BBQs as well. Come early or on a weekday to avoid the crowd. Take care around the fast moving waters. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Babinda Slides(Falls)

4 h 30 min to 6 h

Starting from the end of Bartle Frere Goldfield Road, Babinda, this walk takes you to the Babinda Slides (Falls) via the Goldfield and Babinda Slides tracks. Prepare to be amazed by the crystal clear creeks and gushing waterfalls. There are also great swimming spots that are a remedy for the hot & humid rainforest weather. The orchids and fungi are quite eye-catching, and the dense canopy allows you to take in the scenery without getting baked. Keep in mind that the track requires some rock hopping and scrambling. One of the creek crossings is usually waist-deep, so prepare accordingly. Look out for wild boars(feral pigs) and wait-a-while plants.

Goldfield Trail

18.4 km oneway

5 h, 8 h to 2 days

Goldfield Trail

5 h, 8 h to 2 days

Starting from Mulgrave River Forestry Road, Wooroonooran, this walk takes you to The Boulders Lookout and rock pools via the Goldfield Trail, exploring the rainforest of Wooroonooran NP along the way. This trail was used by gold miners that were travelling to the mining areas in Goldsborough Valley back in the time - hence the name Goldfield. As you walk along the same track that is now surrounded by beautiful king ferns, try to go back to their time and imagine what the environment used to look like then. The rainforest is home to many animals including boars(pigs) and cassowaries. There are multiple campsites, one along the way and one at each end of the track. You can stay the night and even make this a return trip if you’d like to. Don’t forget to pack your swimmers to be able to enjoy the rock pools along Babinda Creek, especially at the end. Expect to get your feet wet as four of the crossings are around knee-level. Sandals may come in handy. A decent level of fitness is recommended. You can bring secateurs to help you on the track, but remember to bring bushmans spray no matter what. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
