Eliot Falls
A popular detour (and an extremely rewarding one) for travellers on the Telegraph Track on Cape York is the delightful swimming spots of Fruit Bat Falls and further on, Eliot Falls. Eliot Falls is in fact two waterfalls. The campsite here gets quite busy, particularly during the dry season. A shady boardwalk along the creek bank leads to a natural sandstone platform with views of Eliot Falls.
Location: Cape York peninsula

Twin Falls
Twin Falls, a series of rock pools and cascades, is linked by tracks and boardwalks to nearby Eliot Falls. Indian Head Falls is nearby and provides a quieter alternative to Twin and Eliot Falls.
Location: Cape York peninsula

Fruit Bat Falls

Savo Falls
Another waterfall not far from Eliot and Fruit Bat Falls. Tropical plants grow in abundance along the creek banks.

Gulf region

Indarri Falls
Indarri Falls lies with Lawn Hill National Park or Boodjamulla. The creek is a perennial, clear and spring fed waterway and many thousands of visitors have enjoyed swimming in its waters over the years. The gorge is spectacularly lush and fresh compared to the flat and dusty savannah country one travels through to get here.
Location: situated near the top left hand corner of Queensland, with its boundary being the border with NT.

Leichhardt Falls
The Leichhardt River catchment is located in north west Queensland and covers an area of approximately 33,000 sq. km. The river rises in the Selwyn Ranges, 40 kilometres southeast of Mount Isa. The cliffs adjacent to the Falls offer sweeping views across and along the river.
Location: near Floraville, 70 km south of Burketown

Bloomfield Falls
Heading south on the coast road from Cooktown, the Bloomfield River is 0.6 km south of the Wujal Wujal Aboriginal community. Just before the river crossing there is a sign post to Bloomfield Falls. This river is home to the estuarine crocodile and swimming is not recommended.
Location: south of Cooktown

Trevethan Falls
These falls are absolutely spectacular, but a 4WD is required to get to them as the road can get quite rough toward the end. At the falls there is a lagoon. Climb the rocks for a commanding view of the surrounding area.
Location: south of Cooktown

Endeavour Falls
Endeavour Falls Tourist Park is a picturesque setting on the north arm of the Endeavour River, surrounded by rainforest. The falls do not always flow in the dry season, but the falls are still worth the visit. You can enjoy a swim in the crocodile free swimming hole at the base of the falls or bush walk along the river to see the tree ferns, elk horns, and orchids.
Location: 32km north of Cooktown, via Endeavour Valley Road (McIvor Road)

Isabella Falls
These 8 metre high falls are located where Battlecamp Rd crosses Isabella Creek via a ford.
Location: 15 minute drive from Endeavour Falls Tourist Park on the way to Laura from Cooktown.

Home Rule Falls
These spectacular falls are reached along a 2.5 km walking trail from the Home Rule Rainforest Lodge. Ask at the Lodge for access and directions to the falls. The lodge also offers budget accommodation and meals.
Location: 4.5 km south from the Shiptons Flat/Bloomfield Road intersection along the coast road past Rossville. A road leading off to the left heads to Home Rule Rainforest Lodge.

Annan Falls
This stunning but difficulty to access waterfall is tucked away in the upper reaches of the Annan River. Above the waterfall there are a series of smaller falls and water slides which offer some great fun for the kids
Locartion: Annan Falls is accessible via an old tin mining track off the Shiptons Flat road which is most 4WD only. It is a waterfall that locals will take visitors to when they really want to show them they are living in paradise.
