Description
The Boulders is a popular cool swimming and picnic area in the tropical rainforest in the foothills of Bartle Frere (Chooreechillum), at 1622m, Queenslands highest mountain.
The Boulders area is named for a series of huge outcrops of granite boulders found along Babinda Creek amongst volumes of sparkling, cascading, cool, clear mountain water.
The main park contains covered picnic areas, barbecues, childrens play equipment, toilets and changing rooms as well as plenty of open grassed areas. For overnight stays, a free camping area, suitable for tents, caravans or motorhomes, is close by.
A 2km rainforest walk leads to 3 lookouts over Boulder formations and waterfalls.
A sealed, well maintained walking track leads downstream to the main Boulders viewing area.
Some areas within the Boulders are restricted swimming zones. Signs at the main parking area provide diagrams and information of fauna, flora and safety.
Access is via bitumen road to carpark approx 6 kms from Babinda township. Parking available for RVs and caravans.
Dogs not allowed.
