About this event
Top of Jourama Falls - swim and picnic walk
When: Sunday 15 March - 7:00 am
Location: Jourama Falls, Paluma Range National Park
Leader: Cherry
Grade: 3-4 (open to all levels - steep climb section)
RSVP: [email protected]
Cherry will be leading a relaxed but adventurous day out to the top of Jourama Falls, with a swim and picnic as the main focus. The plan is to walk in via the lookout track, tackle the steady ~10-minute climb from the lookout, and then another ~50 min to the top of the falls. It is a steep and often hot ascent, so a reasonable level of fitness and comfort on hills is important.
At the top, we will enjoy time around the pools and cascades - perfect for a swim, a long lunch and soaking in the granite scenery. If conditions are safe and time allows, Cherry may explore a little further upstream along Waterview Creek, using the map as a guide and testing out some hands-on navigation.
This walk is open to all levels, but be prepared for heat, a sustained climb and uneven ground. Take your time, carry plenty of water and expect a social, exploratory day rather than a fast-paced mission.
Bring:
- At least 2-3 L of water
- Lunch and snacks
- Swimmers and towel
- Sturdy footwear with good grip
- Hat and sun protection
Meeting details will be provided once you RSVP directly to Cherry at [email protected].
A classic North Queensland combination: climb, cool off, eat well, repeat.
Townsville Bushwalking Club members: Free
Visitors: $5 per walk. After completing three club walks, you are welcome to join as a member.
