Welcome to the Mamu Rainforest Canopy Walkway aka The Skywalk.
The Skywalk allows visitors to explore the rainforest from the forest floor to the canopy. The Skywalk passes through one of the largest-remaining continuous stands of complex vine forest on basalt soils in the Wet Tropics. Enjoy close-up views of rainforest plants, insects and birds, and take in sweeping vistas. Information signs tell of the rainforest’s complex web of life and the rich culture and history of the area.
The Skywalk itself is a 350 metre long elevated walkway through the canopy, a cantilever, a 37 metre observation tower and more than 1200 metres of walking tracks
The cantilever provides tantalising views over the North Johnstone river gorge. The 37 metre observation tower emerges high above the canopy, offering sweeping views over a pristine rainforest-clad mountainous landscape, homeland of the Mamu Aboriginal people.
Located within Wooroonooran National Park, the attraction was built in natural clearings in the rainforest caused by cyclone Larry in March 2006 and constructed from durable unpainted galvanised steel and recycled plastic. It is located close to other National Park walking tracks and picnic areas.
A large, weather-proof cache has been hidden near the parking lot, with plenty of room for swaps. You do NOT need to enter the park to locate this cache. Park managers are well aware of its presence and - if you ask nicely - they may point you in the right direction to find it.
