Babinda Boulders
About an hour's drive from Cairns, Babinda Boulders is a popular swimming hole that holds deep cultural significance for the Bindabarra Yidi people, who traditionally inhabited the area around Babinda. It's 7 km (5 miles) inland on The Boulders Road from the town of Babinda, accessible via the Bruce Highway about 60 km (37 miles) south of Cairns. You can also hike to the boulders, taking the 19-km (12-mile) Goldfield Track (Wooroonooran National Park) that starts in Goldsborough Valley, southwest of Cairns, and ends in Babinda Boulders car park.
