Paluma Road Trip
Northwest of Townsville, venture into the vibrant and verdant Paluma Range National Park, the southern gateway to the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. Along the Paluma Range Highway, take time to refresh at Little Crystal Creek and Big Crystal Creek, both perfect locations to stop for a picnic lunch, bushwalk, and swim. Big Crystal Creek has a large swimming hole and spacious picnic area. Little Crystal Creek is famous for its historic stone arch bridge built in the 1930s. Cascades tumble down from under the bridge into one of the best freshwater swimming holes accessible from Townsville.
