Information

Twin Falls are located on Canal Creek just before it flows into Eliot Ck. Whilst not particularly high, they are stunning and reputed to be the best swimming holes in Cape York. The creek washes over the rocks here and splits into two distinct flows before settling in a pool at its base, making it one of the most photographic attractions along the Old Telegraph Track.

To reach this area, you will need to travel into the Eliot Falls camp area and take the short walk.
