We have visited Murray falls quite a few times, a couple of times before we retired on long weekends but now
week days are the go, less people
quieter and finding the best camp site is never a problem.
Booking at this NP is best online so you can see how many people are booked in, the best time for here is in the wetter months so that you get the best of the falls and swimming, and if it rains then just relax with a book or let the rain help with a little nanny/poppy nap.
The swimming at MF is terrific fresh and running, there are a few areas to chose from some with rapids and deep holes some quiet little areas , but when the falls are really flowing the water can be a bit swift at some places
Its not far from MF to Tully or Cardwell if you feel the urge to go shopping or just find a cafe, one thing you will see at all our National parks are signs telling you to take your rubbish with you and do not leave food or scraps out if you leave camp there are plenty of birds like scrub turkeys small birds and sometimes very large birds that will come in to your camp looking for anything you might leave out, on our last trip we were fortunate to get the largest of the rainforest birds to pay us a visit.
One thing about Cassowary’s is that they are big and they just go where they want, we just let this bloke do his thing, he had a look for some food then moseyed over to another camp to see what was on offer, later a ranger told us that he had been hanging around for a couple of days
We always enjoy Murray falls it close and if the mood takes us we can be there and set up in a few hours, so we will be returning sometime in 2020
