Highlights
Davies Creek Falls is a magnificent waterfall where water tumbles over giant granite boulders into crystal-clear pools. This spot in Dinden National Park near Mareeba is great for swimming, relaxing on sun-warmed rocks, or exploring nearby trails. The scenery is breathtaking, with rainforest on one side and eucalyptus woodlands on the other.
