Guided walks in the World Heritage Wet Tropics

It is only a 40 minute walk along a well beaten track to the spectacular Home Rule Falls. Remnants of tin mining, an important part of the local history, can be found by those keen to explore a little further. Join Sandy, dedicated local bushwalker and botanist, for a guided walk to the falls and exploration of the unique and one of the worlds most ancient of rainforest. Daintree Penda seedlings cover the forest floor with their new blue leaves, waiting as seedling, sometimes for years for a giant to fall for a break in the canopy. Tall Black Palms and Fan palms, large quandongs, figs, mahoganys and satinashes draped with vines, ferns, orchids and staghorns provide a lush habitat for many creatures.

Enjoy crocodile free swimming in the crystal clear flowing waters of the Wallaby Creek. Sit quietly upon a rock and you may sight a platypus, the brilliant blue ulysses butterfly or a little kingfisher.
