Florence Falls

Wow, this place is certain to put a smile on your face.

overview

Road Access:  Sealed road.
Difficulty:  Car Park to Lookout = Very easy.  Grade 1. Walk 800 mtrs.
Steps down to Plunge Pool = Steep. Grade 3.  Walk approx 160 steps.
Shady Creek Walk to Plunge Pool = Grade 2. Walk  1 km.

Florence Falls is a spectacular spring-fed, year-round double waterfall set amid the monsoon forest which cascades into a swimming hole. The lookout from the top provides a panoramic view.

There is a 160 step staircase down to the swimming area. There is also a viewing platform at the top of the falls if you do not wish to swim.  An alternative to the stairs is the Shady Creek Walk (1km), which meanders around the back of the waterfall with shady little creek crossings.   Do it as a loop – down the stairs and then up the Shady Walk.

Check the signage during our Tropical Summer as swimming may be cancelled for a few days when monsoonal floods create dangerous currents.

Images show difference between our winter dry season and our tropical summer.
