Douglas Track

Barron Gorge is the traditional home of the Djabaguy people who have many special connections to this place. The Douglas and Smiths tracks were traditional pathways for the Djabaguy for thousands of years.

From the Rainforest Estate, the track follows an old sealed road and then winds through the scrub up to the Cairns-Kuranda railway line. From the nearby bridge continue climbing up to Red Bluff.

From Red Bluff you can continue to climb along the ridge to Glacier Rock. Rest and take in the glorious scenery of the gorge below. The walk from Glacier Rock to Speewah is through some well-preserved upland rainforest with frequent ups and downs and small streams.
