The track follows the rolling slopes of the Cardwell Range.
You will pass through rainforest typical to the uplands of
the western tablelands and along the fringes of the Wet Tropics.
Bunya pines grow on the western side of Cannabullen Gorge.
These trees have not changed since ancient times and this
is one of only two areas in north Queensland where they occur
naturally. Cannabullen Falls can be viewed from a lookout
4.4km return off the main track (approximately 3 hours return).
Further along, a short walk off the main track leads to Majors
Mountain lookout (1.8km return).
