South Johnstone
South Johnstone is a delightful little town 11km south-west of Innisfail. While the tourism bandwagon rolls on all around, South Johnstone, with its old world charm, is a town where time has stood still - just the place to ease off the throttle and recharge the batteries in preparation for the next round on the sightseeing trail.
You'll find the Australian Sugar Industry Museum in nearby Mourilyan and while you are in this neighbourhood take the trouble to drive on to Mourilyan Harbour - the chief port for the export of local sugar products where the natural harbour is framed in a most dramatic setting.
Dramatic, too, is the sight of the Wallaman Falls as the water from Stony Creek tumbles 305 metres down a vertical rock gorge into the Herbert River. This is believed to be the longest sheer drop of any Australian waterfall.
The access road meanders through dense, scenic forest to a lookout positioned above the falls. There is a trail to the bottom of the gorge, but rangers request that all visitors keep to the confines of the defined walking track to prevent erosion.

Mamu Tropical Skywalk
The cantilever provides tantalising views over the North Johnstone river gorge. The 37 metre observation tower emerges high above the canopy, offering sweeping views over a pristine rainforest-clad mountainous landscape, homeland of the Mamu Aboriginal people.
Located within Wooroonooran National Park, the attraction was built in natural clearings in the rainforest caused by cyclone Larry in March 2006 and constructed from durable unpainted galvanised steel and recycled plastic. It is located close to other National Park walking tracks and picnic areas, making a day visit to the area, armed with a picnic hamper and walking shoes, a must-do experience!

Eubenangee Swamp National Park
Sitting below the Bellenden Ker Range (the wettest part of Australia), much of this park is flooded during the wet season.
As well as being a significant habitat for waterbirds, and crocodiles, the park also protects some of the last remnants of various lowland vegetation types.
Stroll along the 1.5 kilometre return walking track that follows the Alice River, through rainforest to the top of a grassy hill and enjoy views of Bartle Frere and Bellenden Ker, Queensland's two highest peaks, as well as the swamp and its many waterbirds. Remember to be croc wise.

South Johnstone: Events
Innisfail Art Deco Tours
The Innisfail Shire Hall is the jewel in the crown, of the Art Deco Capital of Australia - Innisfail.
It was built to provide jobs as part of an employment relief scheme instigated by the Queensland Government during the great depression of the 1930's
It was in this climate that the Johnstone Shire Council erected the Shire Hall which has dominated the Innisfail Skyline for over 70 years. The Shire Hall was built by Peter and William Van Leeuwin who built many other buildings in the town which are still standing today.
When it was opened it was said to rival any Hall built in Sydney.
After extensive damage in Cyclone Larry the Hall was modernised but kept its Art Deco features to bring it to modern day standards.
