Guided Tour of Bloomfield Falls, Wujal Wujal
Bloomfield Falls
The walk to picturesque Wujal Wujal
(Bloomfield) Falls is a short stroll down a rocky
path to a
viewing point
for the falls. The falls
are especially spectacular after the wet season.
This is an easy 3 minute return path walk of less
than 1 kilometre.
Swimming is not advised
due to the
possibility of crocodiles in the Bloomfield
River below the falls, and Aboriginal cultural
concerns.
Local Aboriginal tours with the
Walker family
offer a great appreciation of
the area. You can reach
Wujal Wujal Falls
from the coastal route between Cooktown and
the Daintree. Turn off upstream north of the
Bloomfield River
crossing just south of Wujal
Wujal Community.
Did you know?...
Green ants have a wide range of
medicinal uses in Aboriginal culture,
and are still widely used to combat
coughs and colds. They were also
believed to act as a form
of contraception.
