• Barron Gorge - Located just 20 minutes from central Cairns and 40 minutes from Port Douglas, Barron Gorge National Park is easily accessible whether you choose hotel pickup by coach or drive yourself to Lake Placid. The park is renowned for its dramatic rainforest mountains, steep ravines, Barron Falls, and the impressive Barron Gorge, sculpted over millennia by the Barron River.
