Ravenshoe
Located 147 km south-west of Cairns and 904 m above sea-level, Ravenshoe can claim to be the highest town in Queensland.
The
temperature is typically mild, rarely exceeding 26°C which means that
it has an attraction for people wanting to escape the heat and humidity
of the coast.
Waterfalls feature in this area. Millstream Falls drop only 20m, but they are 60m wide and generally thought to be the broadest in Australia. Tully Falls to the south has a spectacular drop of 293m.
The Falls
Ravenshoe is the access point for both the Little Millstream Falls (2 km south on the Tully Gorge Rd, signposted off the Kennedy Highway) and the Tully Falls (24 km south on the same road).
The Millstream Falls are said to be the widest in Australia. Head west along the Kennedy Highway for 5 km and take the turnoff to the right. The falls are another kilometre along this road.
The Tully Falls are regarded as some of the most dramatic and beautiful falls in north Queensland.
Millstream Express
A ride on this steam train is a good way to see the area. It journeys 7 km north to Tumoulin at 2.30 every Saturday and Sunday from April to January, tel: (07) 4097 6005.
