During the North Queensland wet season, local heavy rainfall may cause significant stream rises at Jourama Falls, Little Crystal Creek, Rockslides waterhole and Paradise waterhole in Paluma Range National Park. During and after heavy rain, creek conditions change and become dangerous. Fast flowing, rapidly rising water, with strong currents, occurs. At these times, to stay safe, do not enter the water. Visitors are urged to use caution at all times around waterways. Always supervise children closely.
Check weather conditions via the Bureau of Meteorology before visiting.
