Caribou Falls

Caribou Falls is a waterfall located in the Atherton Tablelands region of Queensland, Australia, on Butchers Creek.

It is considered a hidden gem due to its challenging and unmarked access route, making it difficult to locate without prior knowledge of the trail. The falls are reached via a route that initially follows the Old Cairns Track toward Windin Falls.

Rather than taking the right-hand turn toward Windin, visitors continue a short distance further before turning left and scrambling down a steep embankment. The original trail has largely disappeared over time.

Due to the unmarked and difficult nature of the approach, it is strongly recommended that visitors only attempt to find Caribou Falls with someone who has been there before.
