Blencoe Falls

The Blencoe Falls are a series of waterfalls on Blencoe Creek in Queensland, Australia's Far North. The falls are located in the Girringun National Park close to Tully, about two kilometers north of where the Herbert River and Blencoe Creek converge. The falls start at a height of 517 meters above sea level and plummet 320 meters in the first drop of about 90 meters before continuing to cascade for another 230 meters to the bottom of the valley.

Open forest covers the towering cliffs and rocky ridges, and vine-thicket rainforest dotted with hoop pines covers the gullies and higher slopes of the canyon. A portion of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area includes Blencoe Falls.

Camp out and take advantage of the quick hikes and viewpoints around Blencoe Falls. In addition, this is where the 110-kilometer-long network of pathways that serve as the entrance to the Wet Tropics Great Walk begins. Visitors to Blencoe Falls must be self-sufficient due to its isolation. Be careful around cliffs, steep slopes, and rock faces along the routes and at the overlook, and carry enough communication equipment. This waterfall is one of the best waterfalls to visit in Australia.
