4wd Rainforest And Waterfall ExplorationExplore > Australia > Cairns > 4wd Rainforest And Waterfall Exploration
OverviewWorld heritage rain forest at its best! Australia is a massive place. Just take a look at a map and hover over its enormity. Miles and miles of coastlines. The never-ending expanse of the Outback. Out-of-this-world flora and fauna. With all of this size and variance, the area that is Northeast Australia provides a perfect microscope into all that Australia's habitats have to offer. An experienced naturalist guide will take you off the paved highway roads, with a few stops along the way, and into the mystery of the national parks that bookend the northeastern shore. Starting at Barron Gorge National Park, you will pay a visit to Surprise Falls, which stands at a beautiful 243 meters high. Although "surprise" is its namesake, the real surprise is at Barron Falls, where, if you are lucky, you will arrive during a period of heavy rainfall. The power of water will be on full display as the Barron River rushes through the national park and plummets into the lower Barron Gorge. Trust us when we tell you this isn't your average waterfall. unforgettable views over Cairns and towards Green Island. At Lake Morris and the Copperlode Dam, even more impressive landscapes will be on the horizon as you are now surrounded by the World Heritage rain forest-clad mountains.

These unpaved tracks will wind through the rain forest and over mountains of the Great Dividing Range, which separates multiple climates and eco-systems.
