Murray Falls
Highlights
Discover one of the prettiest waterfalls in North Queensland at Murray Falls in Girramay National Park. With water cascading over naturally sculpted granite boulders, this spot is surrounded by stunning rainforested mountains and tropical lowlands.
Take a stroll along the River Boardwalk for a quick and easy walk to a viewing platform near the falls, or try the more adventurous Yalgay Ginja Bulumi trail. This 1.8km return walk takes you through a rainforest gully and open forest to spectacular views of the falls and the Murray Valley.
Enjoy a picnic in the grassy day-use area or relax by the river. Look out for wildlife like wallabies, possums, and colourful birds. In spring, the area comes alive with vibrant wildflower displays. Remember to stay safe near the water, as the rocks can be slippery, and access upstream of the day-use area is not permitted.
Adult Supervision Recommended: The rocks near the river can be slippery, and the water flows quickly. Stay close to your adults to enjoy this spot safely.

- Always enjoy waterfalls from trails and marked viewing points. Do not climb over barriers as cliff edges and slippery surfaces may cause injury or death.
