About Tully Falls

Park features

Tully Falls National Park is part of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area and one of the wettest areas of Australia. The transition between vegetation types supports a wide range of animal life. Many of these animals—like golden bowerbirds and Lumholtz’s tree-kangaroos—are only found in the Wet Tropics. Walk through lush rainforest, sit beside tumbling waterfalls and rest beside clear mountain streams.

Looking after the park

Stay on the formed roads—off-road trail-bike riding and four-wheel driving is not allowed. Mountain-bikes are not permitted on walking tracks or boardwalks unless specifically signposted.
Avoiding driving and riding on unsealed roads during and after heavy rains.
Wash vehicles and gear thoroughly before entering this park to prevent the spread of weeds and diseases.
Leave pets at home—domestic animals are prohibited.
Take your rubbish home with you—no bins are provided.

See the guidelines on caring for parks for more information about protecting our environment and heritage in parks.
