Waterfall height

Cairns – Josephine Falls Distance: 74.6 km Driving time: about 1 hour Address: LOT 1 Josephine Falls Walk, Bartle Frere QLD 4861 Josephine Falls is located in Wooroonooran National Park near Cairns. It is a three-tier waterfall with a total drop of about 192 meters. It is a very popular swimming spot among locals in Cairns. The water flows gently over layered rock steps into a crystal-clear, emerald-green pool. The water is so clear you can see the bottom, making it perfect for swimming. One of its highlights is the natural rock slide, where you can sit on the smooth rock surface and slide down with the flowing water into the pool below. You can bring swimwear and enjoy playing in the water, or simply sit on the rocks by the river and spend a relaxed, peaceful time.
