Join us for a relaxed walk from Paluma village to Ethel Creek Falls in Paluma Range National Park. This is a lovely rainforest walk that follows tracks from the village towards Cloudy Creek before continuing along a quieter, less travelled route to Ethel Creek Falls.
The group will begin in Paluma village and make its way to Cloudy Creek. After crossing the creek, the walk continues along a lesser-used track through rainforest towards Ethel Creek Falls. We will stop at the falls for morning tea, a rest, and a swim if conditions are suitable.
The return walk follows the same route back to Paluma village. After the walk, those who are keen may like to head to the cafe in Paluma for a post-walk coffee.
This walk is suitable for easy to moderately fit walkers who are comfortable walking for several hours on uneven ground. Although this is mostly an on-track walk, participants should be prepared for a creek crossing, wet or slippery rocks, uneven surfaces, and a less maintained section of track.
What to Bring:
* At least 1.5 L of water
* Morning tea, lunch, and snacks
* Sturdy footwear with good grip
* Sun protection
* Insect repellent
* Rain jacket or warm layer, as Paluma can be cooler and wetter than Townsville
* Swimmers and a small towel if you would like to swim
* First aid kit with compression bandages
