This is a spectacular trail to Cannabullen Falls; access to the trailhead is best suited from Millaa Millaa. Follow Cannabullen Creek Track from the trailhead, then turn onto Cardwell Range Track before turning onto the Cannabullen Falls Track.
This is an enjoyable and mostly level walk until users get close to the falls when there is a short but steep scramble to get down to the falls themselves. Explore downstream to the top of Cannabullen Falls before exploring upstream to the bottom of...

A longer circuit through subtropical rainforest to Rhyolite Pinnacle via Walters Waterhole.
This stunning trail involves several creek crossings which can become impassable after heavy rainfall. The last section is via the paved road back to the trailhead (approximately 1.5km). The trail section from Walter's Waterhole to the Rhyolite Pinnacle junction is not very well used (part of the Koolmoon Trail under the Misty Mountains Trail Network). The path is easy to follow but be sure to keep...

A short easy walk through the Tully Falls National Park in far north Queensland, near the town of Ravenshoe. The walk begins at the Charmillen Creek Trailhead, off Tully Falls Road.
Enjoy wandering through the rainforest, close to Charmillen Creek with a side trip to a small waterfall. It's better to do this one as an out-and-back trail as opposed to a circuit (walking back along the road isn't recommended due to the narrow road).

A great but challenging walk up in the misty mountains of Tully Falls National Park. This out and back style walk is a fairly strenuous undertaking and some preparation and fitness is definitely required to complete the track.
Making sure you have offline maps for this walk is essential as losing your way on this ill defined trail is possible.

A moderate hike through dense rainforest with a few small creek crossings (after heavy rain these can become impassable). The trail narrows after crossing the causeway a few hundred metres after the Hinson Creek Camp. Expect small sections of boggy mud, a couple of very steep but very short hill climbs, a few spots scrambling over fallen trees, and overgrown lawyer vine.

This is a return hike to Cannabullen Creek Camp via Majors Mountain. It offers an easy to follow trail with a short steep side trip up to Majors Mountain where there are underwhelming views.
From the trailhead you'll start a long gradual downhill slope to Cannabullen Creek that offers an overgrown campsite of grass and tree snakes. Still the experience is equally pleasant. This can be a good training trail, and you can take your bicycle in here if you really wanted to. Expect a deluge of...

The track to Cannabullen Creek campsite. It's part of the Misty Mountain Wilderness Trails with an option to hike out-and-back, or point-to-point past the campsite to the Gold Coast Road Trailhead on the Ravenshoe side of Tully Falls National Park. This trail is primarily rainforest with a few basic creek crossings and it's almost completely shaded the entire way. It's a good trail for training if you're looking for a long distance walk that is easy to navigate.
