Cedar Creek Falls
A rainforest waterfall about 25 minutes' drive south of Airlie Beach. The natural pool beneath the falls is good for swimming, and it's a favourite place for locals to escape the heat.
The falls are on the edge of Conway National Park. A few minutes' walk from the car park brings you to the pool at the base of the falls, and another path leads to rock pools at the top. Water levels are high after the wet season and may dry up in the late dry season, so check with locals before you go. Entry is free. The rocks are slippery, so don't dive from high points, and the depth of the pool is hard to judge. There is no public transport, so you'll need to drive or join a half-day tour.
