In Malanda Falls Conservation Area, the North Johnstone River flows through dense rainforest, tumbling over Malanda Falls into an artificial swimming pool. The Ngadjon Jii is the Traditional Owners of this area. Have a picnic and take a dip in the pool. Follow the easy one kilometre Tulip Oak walk beside the river and through the rainforest. Watch for platypus from the viewing platforms. Keep an eye out for secretive tree-kangaroos, sometimes seen here. Learn about the region at the Malanda Falls Wet Tropics Visitor Centre.
