Cannabulls Falls Hike - full waterfall leader

Cannabulls Falls Hike - full waterfall leader

Cannabull Falls is an epic 70-meter waterfall deep into the Misty Mountains of the WooroONORAN National Park in the far north of Queensland. In this guide you will find everything you need to know about hiking about the cannabull falls overflow, and some photos that you can inspire for your hike!

cannabull case is an example of how rough and underestimates the region around Cairns and the far north. The width, remote path to the cannabulls if is a step back in the past - with no more noise than the versed calls of prehistoric birds and their own muddy footprints, while they hike through the oldest preserved rainforest on earth.

I'm certainly not alone when I say that a hike with a reward in the end is so much more beautiful, more worthwhile. And the rewards don't get much better than this. The end point of the hike opens to an incredible natural theater.

waterfalls and cascading streams flow around them in a narrow clearing with rocks and tropical vines on all sides. At the very end of the river there is the main event, the 70-meter-long cannabull falls overflow, the triumphant falls into the depths of the rainforest valley below.

Cannabull cases

After exploring so many epic waterfalls near Cairns and the Tropical North, the cannabulls could be there with some of the most impressive ones.

The 70-meter giant is a perfectionist waterfall. His stream perfectly falls down the vertical rock face at the end of a beautiful tropical rainforest valley.

Unfortunately, the hike to the cannabull cases does not allow a direct view of the dimensions of the waterfall. Instead, they are led to the overflow where you can watch the river from above.

Either way, I was quite satisfied and honestly enthusiastic about being able to see this incredible waterfall from its source. The view from the tip of the waterfall is absolutely unbelievable and although it resembles Windin Falls, it could simply outdo it in its epic.

How to get to cannabull if trailhead

cannabull case is located in the Misty Mountains of the WooroOnooran national park, about 2 hours from Cairns. You need a car to get to the starting point of the hiking trail and I would recommend taking all -wheel drive because the last route on an unpaved road becomes a bit bumpy.

From Cairns you have to start the long mission up the Gillies Range Road and turn south towards Millaa Millaa. Take the Misty Mountains Tourist Drive from here before turning left onto the Maalan Road. Drive about 3 km further before turning to the Sutties Gap Road. This street is tight and transforms into a fairly bumpy 4WD route after a mining field from cow pound when you enter the gates of the national park. Continue about 8 km on the Sutties Gap Road until you reach a clearing with a striking sign (on the GPS coordinates below).

Below I attached the exact position of the starting point of the hike to the cannabull cases to facilitate navigation.

GPS coordinates: 17 ° 39’23.4 ″ S 145 ° 38’27.0 ″ E

The hike from the Sutties Gap Road to Cannabull follows one of many hikes in the Misty Mountains. While this back and forth hiking trail is easy to walk, there are some sections in which you could turn wrong. There is also nowhere along the way telephone reception, so I would suggest that you have a GPS card with you (you can use the GPS card below if you save this blog on your offline pages).

The path is also very wide and gently hilly, with just a few short climbs that burn the legs. There are also two stream crossings that you have to do, so be prepared to take off your shoes or to cope with a soaked boot.

While most of the hike to the Cannabulls is a child's play, the last section is a bit hairy. When you arrive there, you can already hear the waterfall and are greeted by a short but steep descent on a slippery and muddy path. Solid tree roots help you climb down.

Although there is a little tree crash in some sections of the path, you should have no problems finding the way to the waterfalls. Simply make sure to follow the direction of the orange and pink tree markings, and turn where the signs point to the cannabulls (and remember the way back in these curves).

If you jump out for a brown folding, you can turn right and go up on the bank to get to a beautiful amphitheater with waterfalls where there are deep ponds in which you can swim. Before I started the hike, I had no idea that these were higher there were waterfalls with steps, so this was a pleasure for me.

The overflow channel cannabull is located further downstream. You cannot really get to the cliff edge on the left side of the stream (the page on which you jump out), so don't try. Since it hadn't rained much and the stream was relatively gentle, I decided to cross the Cannabull Creek further up to the river near the stepping waterfalls. As a result, I was able to walk carefully on the right bank to get to the edge of the cliff. If you cannot handle heights well or if the stream flows sharply, don't try. Also remember that this blog is a report about my trip and you shouldn't copy what you read online.

Use your common sense and respect the seclusion of this waterfall.

Photos of the cannabull cases

Unfortunately I crashed my drone the previous week and it was repaired. When I arrived at the waterfall, my heart broke immediately, because it meant that I could capture the dimensions of the cannabulls if not in all its splendor.

Here, however, there are some more photos of the waterfalls on the cannabull Creek, which I hope to inspire you to visit this iconic jewel in the tropical north of Queensland!
