Windin Falls
Highlights
Windin Falls is a magical spot in Wooroonooran National Park, offering stunning views over the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. The highlight is the natural infinity pool at the top of the falls, perfect for a refreshing dip while enjoying the breathtaking scenery. The hike to the falls takes about 90 minutes each way along the Old Cairns Track, so get ready for an adventure!
Fun fact: The infinity pool looks like it flows right into the rainforest below—just like a magical waterfall from a storybook!
Adult Supervision RecommendedThe edges near the falls are steep and slippery, so adult supervision is a must for kids.

Guidelines
- Always do some research before heading out for your journey. Visit the parks website for up to date information on the current conditions. Ensure to check for any updates relating to any warnings that may be issued for the area, and check for the opening and closing times.
- Tropical North Queensland is crocodile country. Be croc-wise, particularly around water.
- 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.
- Only swim where permitted. Don’t jump from cliff edges into water bodies.

- Plan ahead and ensure to take enough food and water for your journey.
- Always stay on the marked tracks where possible. Never climb fences, they are there for your own safety.
