Information

The Traditional Owners of this country, the Giramay people, historically camped alongside creeks like Dead Horse. Their camps would often be near creeks so they could have access to drinking water and a place to cool off.
Venture down to the creek and cool off in Mother Nature's water worn pools and waterholes. Don't forget to have a look around at the impressive backdrop that Cardwell Range provides.
The Girramay language name for dragon fly is "Idinjilla"
An assortment of bottlebrushes, swamp mahoganies, and rainforest pendas intersperse themselves along the creek banks, providing perfect habitats for native birds and insects.
Keep an eye out for the colourful dragon flies and butterflies flitting around the cascading water.
