Blencoe Falls, Girrungun National Park offers breathtakingly beautiful landscapes. Blencoe Falls tumbles 90 metrea into a rocky pool, before cascading a further 230 metres to the hoop pine-studded valley below. Eventually, the water flows into the Herbert River, which winds through a gorge framed by towering cliffs more than 100 metres high. Take the five kilometre Jabali walk through open eucalypt forest to Blencoe Falls lookout. Look for emus and the elegant whiptail wallaby. Listen for kookaburras or sulphur-crested cockatoos. Experienced bushwalkers can enjoy a four to six day hike through the Herbert River Gorge, part of the Wet Tropics Great!Walk.
The Kirrama Range Road from Kennedy has been closed by the Cassowary Coast Regional Council until further notice. The only access to Blencoe Falls is via Mount Garnet. Access should only be attempted in dry conditions and four-wheel-drive vehicles are recommended.
