Eubenangee Wetlands

This place is the Mecca for bird watchers, ornithologists and twitchers. Eubenangee Wetlands are one of the most important natural environment wetlands between Ingham and Cairns playing host to a huge variety of birds that migrate in and out thru the year.

The loop track around the wetlands are an easy 48 minutes hike and a total of 3 kilometers. There is a short 1.5 kilometer walking trail that takes you to the top of a grassy knoll where you will have 360 degree views around the wetlands where you can sit for hours on end just taking in the beautiful scenery or snapping photographs of the birds and butterflies that are drawn to this location. There are around over 190 bird species that frequent this location year round and it is especially popular with bird watchers during the dry season as this is when the lilies are in full bloom and the birds are attracted to their bright colours and pollens.

Josephine Falls

Just a short walk from the car park enables visitors to see the refreshing cascading waterfalls coming down over the huge granite rock boulders. Viewing platforms along the way make for great photographic opportunities.

Babinda Boulders

Babinda Boulders is a favourite recreation swimming hole for Cairns locals and tourists alike and an old spiritual site for Aboriginals. Whilst visiting this place your day tour leader will tell you about the "Legend of the Waters" in Devils Pool as told by Aboriginal elders. The scenery here is picture perfect and a great place to just sit and listen to the water as it cascades down the granite boulders. You can take an easy walk thru the rainforest pathways for approximately 1.30 kilometers or 30 minutes on the slightly undulating bitumen track to the two viewing platforms along the river banks. There are two walking trails one called The Devils Pool Walk and the other is the Wonga Track Rainforest Circuit and you will find some secluded swimming holes for you to enjoy the refreshing mountain water.

Johnstone River Crocodile Farm

Not just a few crocodiles but absolutely hundreds of crocodiles!

On display are the ferocious salt water crocodiles that are indigenous to the top end of Australia, Tropical North Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia. You will also see the more congenial freshwater crocodiles and you can distinguish the difference between the two species from not only their size but by their smaller more narrow jaws and the shape of their heads.

There are also some international attractions like the American Alligator which are much smaller and much less aggressive than our salties. At the Johnstone River Crocodile Farm you will see lots of other Australian animals like the rare and highly endangered Cassowary, and the Australian Dingo along with Emus and Kangaroos.

Whilst you are here you can try some Crocodile snacks or buy yourself a new wallet or Crocodile belt.
