Stony Creek Falls

Stoney Creek Falls is a cascade waterfall on Stoney Creek, located where the creek descends from the Atherton Tablelands to the Cairns coastal plain in Queensland, Australia.

Situated within Barron Gorge National Park and part of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, the falls are roughly 20 minutes from Cairns CBD via Stoney Creek Road in Kamerunga.

Reaching the main falls requires hiking past a small footbridge and swimming hole near the car park, then following a track alongside the creek before transitioning to rock-hopping and some light scrambling through a series of smaller cascades and tiers.

The surrounding rainforest supports diverse flora and fauna, making the area popular with nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers as well as swimmers and hikers.

The falls are also notable for being visible from the Savannahlander, a heritage rail service that passes through the region.
