Nandroya Falls

Nandroya Falls is a striking waterfall in Wooroonooran National Park, Far North Queensland, where Douglas Creek plunges in a narrow, uninterrupted 50-metre drop from a basalt parapet.

The falls sit within dense tropical rainforest and are accessible from the Henrietta Creek picnic area on the Palmerston Highway. Two trail options lead to the falls from a fork roughly 700 metres from the trailhead. The shorter route, approximately 1.

5 kilometres, passes Silver Falls, while the longer 3. 5-kilometre trail follows Douglas Creek through rockpools and rapids. Together they form a circuit of around 6 kilometres.

Below the upper falls, crystal-clear Douglas Creek continues downstream past additional small cascades and an unnamed side-creek waterfall before the trail loops back to the start.
