Hot tip 🤫 Pack your swimmers and take the scenic route. This dreamy natural spa pool just one hour from #MissionBeach is the kind of spot you won’t find on a billboard but it’s well worth the detour. 📍 Cardwell Spa Pool | Djiru Country

ID Couple relaxing in a turquoise creek surrounded by rainforest. **The spa pool is a naturally fed, seasonal creek so water levels do fluctuate throughout the year.

No special effects required here in #TropicalNorthQueensland — just the pure, raw power of the #BarronFalls. From a gentle flow to a thundering roar, it is no secret this waterfall delivers a seasonal show no matter the time of year.

ID Side-by-side footage of Barron Falls during the dry and wet seasons. In the dry season, the waterfall is a narrow, rocky trickle. In the wet season, water thunders down the cliff in powerful torrents surrounded by mist and green rainforest.

A day in the life of a Master Reef Guide 🐢🌊 on the #GreatBarrierReef. Not your average 9 to 5… career change, anyone?

Came for the scenery, stayed for the party. In #TropicalNorthQueensland, the backdrop might be world heritage-worthy but the real show? That’s on the streets, the stages and even the sand 🏝️.

Not all treasures come with signposts. Hidden deep in Wooroonooran National Park, #WankarooFalls is the kind of place you may only visit once but will never forget.
It’s a 14km rugged rainforest trail with creek crossings and a final steep descent - but the payoff? A dramatic dual-stream waterfall and a deep pool that’s made for a dip. To discover more about the region`s many waterfalls, head to https://bit.ly/3Yu3wqp
