Jourama Falls, Paluma Range National Park

Streams flow down from higher slopes in this World Heritage-listed park, feeding Jourama Falls and other cascades and rapids on Waterview Creek. The buff-breasted paradise-kingfisher migrates from Papua New Guinea and can be seen along the rainforest-lined creek between October and April. The open forest beyond the creek is home to the endangered mahogany glider.

Camp at Jourama Falls and look for nocturnal animals such as northern brown bandicoots and amethystine pythons. Stroll along the one and a half kilometre track to view the falls, creek and surrounding rainforest. Look for the distinctive red flowers of weeping bottlebrush trees overhanging the creek. These attract the brilliant blue Ulysses butterflies.
