A series of waterfalls flow into large pools surrounded by boulders.
Rainforest trees hang over the water, keeping it cool and refreshing.

in the tree tops, an observation tower, viewing decks and cantilever,
it brings you close to new unexplored spheres of the rainforest.
Take in the exhilarating vistas of the Johnstone River gorge and
amazing surrounding World Heritage landscapes.

Tantalise your senses with a swim and enjoy the wondrous magical

in the lake (masks and snorkels provided). Be amazed at the size
of the Jungle perch, Water Dragons and Turtles that swim with you.
Look in wonder at the stunning veil of mighty ancient rainforest
giants that wrap themselves around the lake. This is a bird watchers
paradise, and is home to the mighty Cassowary, the king of all rainforest
birds.
