South-west of Babinda on the Bruce Highway just before the town of Miriwinni there is a turn-off to Josephine Falls. Eight kilometres along the road are the Josephine Falls. There is a 700 metre walk from the car park to the falls and the swimming area. Picnic tables, a shelter shed, a coin-operated electric barbecue and toilets are provided in the day use area adjacent to the car park.

Although not the highest or most spectacular, Josephine Falls is highly regarded as one of the most picturesque waterfalls in the area. Located in the Wooroonooran National Park, the area was proclaimed a Wet Tropics World Heritage Area in 1988.

In addition to the 1.2 kilometre walking track to see the falls themselves, there are other tracks available allowing access to Mt Bartle Frere – the tallest mountain in Queensland. These tracks range from 10 kilometres return to 15 kilometres one way and are all graded “Difficult”, being only suitable for fit, experienced and well prepared bushwalkers.
