Townsville to Cardwell road trip: Distance, drive time & attractions

Townsville to Cardwell drive: Paluma Range National Park

The best things to do on the Townsville to Cardwell drive are on the western side of the Highway, however. Paluma Range National Park flanks the Bruce Highway, and has several sections worth visiting.

Australia Travel Questions has a guide to Paluma Range National Park. On a tight schedule, however, opt for the rock pools of Crystal Creek and elegantly beautiful Jourama Falls. Both Crystal Creek and Jourama Falls have rainforest-surrounded swimming holes.
