Barron Gorge National Park is the traditional home of the Djabaguy people who have many special connections to this place. Smiths Track runs between Speewah on the Tableland and Kamerunga nearer the coast.
This 8.6 kilometre one-way walk includes a variety of natural and historical features. Beginning at the Speewah Trailhead, the walk shares with the Douglas Track before diverging up the hill to an old road. Smiths Track winds its way through beautiful forest with large Kauri pines down to the junction of Fern Creek and Stoney Creek where you can refresh yourself in the small swimming holes and rapids.
It is only a short walk up the hill to Toby's lookout with views down the valley to Cairns and the sea. The 4-hour return walk from Speewah Trailhead to the pools at the top of Stoney Creek Falls is a highly recommended alternative to this one-way hike.
