Babinda Boulders

Despite its tropical location, this creek is a surprisingly cool refuge from Queensland’s muggy heat. The boulders lining the waterway have been smoothed over by water flowing from the nearby Mount Bartle Frere making for awesome spots to lie out and soak up the sun, reptile-style. A 1.3 km walk downstream from the picnic area will lead you to the Devil’s Pool that was named after a dreamtime story from the Yidinji people involving two lovers, adultery, an escape and a whole lot of tears (that flowed into the gushing waters you see today).
