Cedar Creek Falls

The Whitsundays


These beautiful falls, a popular swimming spot when there's sufficient water, can be reached by turning east from the Proserpine–Airlie Beach road at Conway Rd (18km southwest of Airlie) then following the signs. Expect to see butterflies, orchids, white cedars, Alexander Palms and perhaps turtles and monitor lizards.
