Davies Creek Swimming Hole
Cairns & Surrounds · QLD
A beautiful granite-lined swimming hole at the base of Davies Creek Falls in the Wet Tropics World Heritage area. The natural infinity-edge pool sits atop a cliff with views across the Atherton Tablelands far below. Surrounded by open eucalypt woodland rather than dense rainforest giving it a unique character. A quieter alternative to the more popular Cairns swimming spots.
