paronella park
Everyone has a dream. But not everyone’s dreams are realised.
José Paronella’s dream was to build a castle. He chose a special part of Australia and created Paronella Park.
On 5ha beside Mena Creek Falls he built his castle, picnic area by the falls, tennis courts, bridges, a tunnel, and wrapped it up in an amazing range of 7,500 tropical plants and trees (now a lush rainforest!).
He opened to the public in 1935. Now we carry on his dream.
josephine falls
Josephine Falls is a scenic waterfall fed by rains falling on Queensland’s highest peak, Bartle Frere, which looms above this popular picnic area in Wooroonooran National Park.

Enjoy the 1.2 kilometre return walk through lush, world heritage-listed rainforest to viewing decks over the picturesque falls.
