Bartle-Frere Trail (East)

Towering above the fertile coastal plain within the Wooroonooran National Park, 70 kilometres south of Cairns are the highest mountains in Queensland, Bartle Frere (1622 metres) and its neighbour Bellenden Ker (1593 metres).

The track begins at the Josephine Falls carpark close to the ranger's office. The beginning of the track is wide and clear through a tropical rainforest. It takes approximately one hour to reach Majuba Creek. This is a nice place to take a break, sit beside crystal clear mountain pools and towering boulders.

Follow a narrow ridge towards the first of the two campsites known as Big Rock. Majuba Creek intersects the path one more time before a set of steep scrambles through boulder fields and over root ladders. After this steep climb, you pass the second and upper campsite. From the summit you can return to Josephine Falls or continue on to the west.
