Lower Ethel Creek & Falls

Sat, 8th July 2023
Ethel Creek Falls +
Leader: Ian Wallace

Rated: On-Track hike. For the easy to moderately fit walkers who can walk about 4-5 hrs.
Off-Track component [optional] - For the more adventurous - After reaching Ethel Creek Falls, we will explore the lower reaches of Ethel creek (Creek hopping). Those that are not keen to do that can spend longer at the Falls and have a leisurely picnic and wait for the group to return.

Meeting: Meet at 6:30 am at Yabulu Service station. You will be meeting Ian Wallace there.

Walk Description:

We will begin in Paluma village, making our way to Cloudy Creek.
Once we reach Cloudy Creek, we will cross the creek and then continue along a 'less traveled' track to Ethel Creek Falls.
We stop for morning tea and a swim at Ethel creek Falls.
For those that are keen to follow Ian - he will be exploring further down Ethel Creek - rock hopping, creek walking for an hour or so and then turn back to join those that are enjoying an extended swim at the falls. Then we come back the same way

The full hike will be around 13 kms. We am allowing 7 hours. If you are not interested in exploring the lower reaches of Ethel creek with Ian, bring a book to enjoy the solitude as you wait for the group to return. We would not want anyone to head back to the start point alone. We stay with the group please.
