Starting from the Crystal Cascades car park at the end of Redlynch Intake Road, this walk takes you to the Crystal Cascades and back via a wide concrete track, exploring the dense rainforest along the way. You’ll pass by multiple little rock pools and cascades until you come to the taller waterfall at the end. With its close proximity to Cairns and ease of access, this is the regular swim destination for many. The area tends to be very busy on the weekends, so come early or on a weekday to avoid the crowd. 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.
