Mossman Gorge is a beautiful and culturally significant destination in Queensland, Australia. The gorge is a section of the Daintree National Park, where crystal-clear water cascades over large granite boulders in the Mossman River. The area is surrounded by lush rainforests, which cloak steep mountainsides from the riverbanks up to the rugged eastern slopes of the Main Coast Range. Visitors can take an easy 10-minute stroll along the elevated boardwalk, which meanders through the lower rainforest canopy, and return along the riverside track, enjoying views from several small lookouts. The area is also home to a variety of wildlife, including bright butterflies and Boyd's forest dragons. For a more immersive experience, visitors can take part in a guided Ngadiku Dreamtime Walk, led by the local Indigenous community, or explore the Daintree Rainforest on their own. The Mossman Gorge Centre offers a range of facilities, including a carpark, picnic area, and public toilet, making it a great destination for families. The centre also features an award-winning ecotourism facility, which provides a genuine Indigenous experience and helps preserve and share Mossman Gorge's rich culture and heritage
