Barron Falls Lookout Track
Cairns

There are several modes of transport through Barron Gorge National Park, including the historic Kuranda train and the Skyrail cableway. They provide spectacular views of the Gorge and the Barron River far below.

At the top of the gorge near Kuranda are the Barron Falls (Din Din). The Barron Falls (Din Din) Lookout Track begins with an elevated boardwalk traversing the rainforest just below the canopy. It then winds its way down the hill past several lookout points and rest stops to the lookout area which also acts as a railway platform.

The walk is well maintained, accessible to all, and is a wonderful way to view these huge falls. In the rainy season, you may be enveloped by a cloud of mist from the falls.

Informative displays describing the area's Aboriginal and European cultural heritage are located at the beginning and end of the walk.

Walk Highlights

• Rugged mountain scenery
• Tumbling waterfalls
• Tropical rainforest
