    Barron Falls

    Barron GorgeBarron Gorge National Park extends from the Atherton Tableland uplands near Kuranda down to the low-altitude coastal area northwest of Cairns. The Gorge is accessible by several modes of transport, including the Skyrail cableway and the historic Kuranda train.

    At the top of the Gorge near Kuranda are the Barron Falls. Further down is a municipal park known as Lake Placid. A road follows the Barron River for 4.5km (2.8 miles) to a hydro power station which offers free daily tours.

    On the other side of the river, the 5km (3 mile) Douglas Track climbs up the gorge to Granite Rock and eventually onto the Tablelands.
