Jambal (Snake) Walk - Wet Tropics

The Jambal Walk begins at Blencoe Falls, a spectacular three-tiered waterfall, which cascades 300 metres down into the Herbert River Gorge below. Situated in the drier savanna woodlands, hoop pines grow on the rocky outcrops around the falls.

As you walk, look for emus and kangaroos resting from the heat and listen for laughing kookaburras or screeching sulphur-crested cockatoos. This country is rugged and one of extremes. With the arrival of the wet season, the countryside is inundated with water and the plants spring back to life.

The track then winds its way to the top of the escarpment above Blanket Creek before dropping steeply onto the banks of the Herbert River, which is lined with shady she-oak trees. After enjoying a night camping under the stars at the Blanket Creek bush camp, the walk returns the same way.
