Ravenshoe to Blencoe Falls, Girringun National Park, QLD

Monday 11th October 2021
Well it is time to move on again, this time to the west, then south and then east.

Firstly we stopped at Little Millstream Falls which is the smaller version of Big Millstream Falls we went to about 13 weeks ago. Little Millstream Falls was also quite beautiful. We enjoyed a short walk down to the falls and spent some time enjoying its beauty. We then drove to Mt Garnet via Innot Hot Springs again and then headed south west along a little used road to Blencoe Falls in the Girringun National Park. The road was in pretty good condition, a lot better than we were expecting. Blencoe Falls was also spectacular and the gorge was magnificent, unfortunately photos don’t capture either sufficiently. We saw many animals today – a water dragon going for a swim at Little Millstream Falls, kangaroos, eagles, cattle, an emu and its chick and tonight some bandicoots and a brush tail possum.

We are camping tonight by the river at the top of Blencoe Falls along Blencoe Creek in the Girringun National Park. It is peaceful and beautiful.

Blencoe Falls—one of the most stunning waterfalls in Australia—plunges 90m to the pool below, before cascading a further 230m to the bottom of Blencoe Gorge.

Little Millstream Falls—is more secluded than Big Millstream Falls and you can swim in the gorgeous freshwater pool directly in front of the waterfall.

: ..another vantage point, had we not just had a shpower I am sure we would have enjoyed a swim here..

: ..Innot Hot Springs, some of the pools here are too hot to stand in – we have used these pools 3 times now and they have medicinal properties which have helped with some tinea on our feet..
