Blencoe Falls, North Queensland

The photo below is of the Blencoe Falls in Tropical North Queensland. The Blencoe Falls lies within Girringun National Park and is part of the traditional lands of the Warungnu Aboriginal people.

This section of Girringun National Park is very remote and not easy to access, especially since the road to the falls from Kennedy has been closed by the council and the falls can only be accessed from Mount Garnett. But the drive is worth it! The waterfall plunges 90m to the pool below, before cascading a further 230m into the Blencoe Gorge which joins the Herbert River a few kilometres further on.

The photo was taken from the Blencoe Falls lookout that can be reached following a track of a few kilometres from the camping area and then walking about 200 metres (See map).
