Rope Falls

Rope Falls is a waterfall located within Paluma Range National Park, Queensland, near Townsville, sitting along the Mt Halifax walking track above Gorge Falls on the East Branch of Rollingstone Creek. It is reached via an approximately 1.

5 km scramble from the trailhead, rated as a Class 5 walk, with the trail running alongside private property whose owners have marked the route clearly. The falls are set in a shaded, dappled environment and are accompanied by crystal-clear swimming holes.

A rope swing at the site adds to its appeal. Beyond Rope Falls, the terrain steepens and becomes more technical, leading onward to Loop Falls.

The area is considered something of a local secret, with relatively little information in circulation, contributing to its uncrowded atmosphere.
