Tips

March 22, 2026

Douglas Track begins at Stoney Creek and climbs steadily through dense, shaded rainforest, following parts of an old railway construction route. Early on, you’ll pass moist, rocky sections with ferns, strangler figs, and traces of historic camps, including stonework and old mango trees. Higher up, the forest begins to thin, shifting to more open woodland before the track steepens with switchbacks and stairs. Along the climb, views open out across the Barron Gorge and towards Cairns and the coast. Some sections beyond the railway crossing can be unstable, so watch your footing, especially after rain.
