Part of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, this park contains an endangered type of rainforest called mabi forest. A semi-deciduous canopy allows more sunlight to reach the ground than in other rainforest types. This promotes a well-developed shrub layer. The highlight is a huge fig tree, which is unique because its extended aerial roots drop 15 metres to the forest floor, forming a 'curtain'.
Enjoy the short, elevated boardwalk around the fig tree. Return to the tree at night to spotlight for the elusive Lumholtz's tree-kangaroo and other nocturnal animals. Spotlighting guidelines are available in the information shelter at the carpark.
