‪About halfway between Tully and Cardwell, we saw a sign to Murray Falls. We had seen plenty of waterfalls already and the area seemed rather dry, so we debated whether to bother. But it was only 20 km from the main road, and we had plenty of time so we went. We were gobsmacked! Really beautiful with loads of water crashing down into lovely rock pools. I suppose we were doubly impressed because we had low expectations. Even so, if you are ever in this area, do not miss it.‬

‪Camping Weekend‬

الأصدقاء • أبريل 2021

‪A group of 5 of us camped for the weekend at Murray Falls campground. The falls are adjacent to the campground (we camped close so we could hear the falls as we went to sleep at night - amazing!) and a short stroll via boardwalk gets you right to the base. There is a 1.8km walk which leaves from the campground which takes you to the top of the falls and offers a fantastic view out over Girramay National Park and the mountains which we enjoyed. There is wildlife aplenty - I saw an echidna & snake on the road heading in and kangaroos heading out. Also watch for cattle on the road heading in as there are un-fenced cattle farms in the area (I met 2 who wanted to walk beside me in the road!). There are lots of butterflies (Ulysses et al), & scrub turkeys and we also had a bandicoot visit our campsite at night time. The facilities are great for a National Park & include flush toilets and a shower (cold water only), though I took a swim in the creek at the day use area which is better than a shower in my opinion. Fire pits are included at each campsite (we went in May 2021 and it was starting to get cold, so the fire saved us) and the cost is $6.75 per night. The drive in is about 18km from the Bruce Highway and phone/4G reception cuts out along the way. The highlight was walking to the falls at night time - a truly magical experience. This is up there with my favourite campsites - you feel close to nature and the camping area is huge, with plenty of room to spread out and have your own private space. If you want something to do nearby there are plenty of options in Cardwell & Tully - we opted to drive into Cardwell for a coffee & then a swim at the Cardwell Spa Pool.‬

‪Wet season treat‬

زوجان • يناير 2021

‪We visited today as a day trip from Cairns. Easy drive off the highway with the last section being a gravel road (2wd was fine). We have had plenty of rain the past few weeks and could see where the water had gone across the road, so if taking a 2wd be careful! Bottom car park is beside the creek and plenty of spots for swimming as water was high and flowing. Walked up to the top carpark and camp ground which had toilet facilities. Easy walk along a boardwalk to base of falls. Water was gushing and was a sight to see. Swim in the waterhole was lovely and refreshing.

‪March Flies carry you away‬

سبتمبر 2020

‪We drove out of our way for this average waterfall where the March flies made it very unpleasant. Nice swimming holes and a lovely camping ground that we couldn’t enjoy because we were constantly being bitten even with insect repellent on. ‬

‪Enjoyed these falls‬

زوجان • سبتمبر 2020

‪Saw quite a few falls in the area. They are all different and so worth visiting. Had lunch at some shady picnic tables. Toilets were clean. Easy walk to see the falls from two vantage points. Nice swimming spots further down the creek. ‬

‪Worth the walk‬

زوجان • سبتمبر 2020

‪Seen the sign and did a quick detour and so glad we did. Beautiful clean toilet facilities, short walk to the falls. Camp ground is perfect for a quiet off the grid stay and the swimming area looked lovely highly recommend ‬

‪Worth the short walk.‬

‪This place was worth the walk. Water was spilling over the falls which made it well worth the short walk.‬

‪Spectacular.A Must to do.‬

أغسطس 2020

‪We've been to lovely "Cardwell" many times but had never been to the "Murray Falls."
You can drive up from "Cardwell" & the road in from the Highway is good,a small amount of gravel but for any kind of vehicle you may have.There is a lovely N.P.camping area with amenities you can stay at by the falls.It's an easy boardwalk to the falls with just a few steps.The view of the falls is gorgeous as it cascades down over the granite rock face to deep rock pools & down over granite rocks as it goes down the river.It flows all year.You can walk down the river further for more great views.‬

‪Beautiful but felt like I was at a zoo‬

أغسطس 2020

‪Despite being a fantastic and impressive piece of nature, I felt somewhat disjointed from it.
The walkways were excellent and well kept but didn't get you up close and personal. The signs of impending doom and fines for going anywhere near the falls left me feeling like a video walk would have given a similar experience.
The swimming hole immediately next to the falls would have been a perfect dunk.

Sometimes we care too much for the stupid people at the sacrifice of normalcy.
Permit at least some wet feet or experience of the water at the bottom. Sure there needs to be signage about going anywhere near the top but at the bottom where a good set of shoes and common sense would prevail would make this an absolute must stop shop.‬

‪Fantastic Bush camp‬

العائلة • يناير 2020

‪We stayed 2 days / 1 night off the grid. This place was absolutely amazing. The kids enjoyed the short walk to the falls from the camping ground followed by a swim in the fresh water below.‬
