Goldsborough Valley Tour: Stand up Paddle through sacred lands
Explore the beautiful river by paddle board, the crystal clear waters are breathe taking filled with history, spectacular views and the opportunity to see a part of Cairns that is a true hidden gem of Cairns
I bring mask and snorkels too so you can check out the the crystal clear waters in this Tropical World Heritage listed rain forest. See jungle perch, eels and saw-shelled turtles as well as prolific bird life and the occasional wild horse.
Goldsborough is the land of the Dulabed Malanbarra Yidinji Aboriginal people. In the 1870’s it became the site of a gold rush that saw a significant European community settlement, including 17 hotels and public houses. When the gold ran out in the mid 1900’s, only a few miners remained in the area making their life as farmers. Goldsborough Valley is now part of the Wooroonooran National Park and is home to abundant bird and fish life
