Behana Gorge | Tringilburra

Travel the Bruce Highway for 30 km south of Cairns and turn off to your right on Behana Gorge Rd.

A beautiful scenic drive through farms and cane fields in the shadow of Walsh’s Pyramid brings you to the starting point for the Behana Gorge track.

Walk through the rainforest along a sealed path for about 45 minutes to reach the stunning panorama of the Clamshell Falls.

Behana Gorge is close to Cairns and a popular spot for cooling off in the rock pools on a hot summer’s day.

The aboriginal name for Behana Creek - “Tringilburra” - means sparkling water.

The water indeed is sparkling and pure, providing drinking water to the city of Cairns since 1957.
