Jourama Falls Section
1100ha.

The main scenic attractions of the Jourama Falls Section of Paluma Range National Park are its waterfalls and the beautiful valley of Waterview Creek, covered with dense vegetation and scattered with granite boulders. From the access road there are short walking trails to the waterfall and the viewpoint above the falls. There are also some steeper trails; but rock climbing is inadvisable because of the many loose bits of rock. Good bathing in the park.
