The Juwun walk starts near Blencoe Falls, in Girringun National Park. Blencoe Falls is a spectacular waterfall that plunges 90m to a pool before cascading a further 230 metres to the base of the Herbert River Gorge.

This strenuous walk travels through open forest before steeply descending into the Herbert River Gorge to the Blanket Creek bush camp. From here there is no designated walking track and walkers are expected to follow the river to Orange Tree before rejoining the track for the last 7 kilometres. Be aware that beyond Blanket Creek, no designated camping sites have been identified. Camping permits are required for camping along the walk.

As you walk, look for emus and kangaroos resting from the heat and listen for laughing kookaburras or screeching sulphur-crested cockatoos. Keep a lookout for bird life such as cormorants sea eagles and falcons that reside in the gorge.

The Juwun Walk passes through the traditional lands of three Aboriginal groups — the Warrgamayan, Warungnu and Girramay people. All of the Wet Tropic Great Walk tracks have been given language names by the Traditional Owners. They hope you will enjoy the walks and respect this sacred place.
