Barron Gorge is the traditional home of the Djabaguy people who have many special connections to this place. The Douglas and Smiths tracks, traditional pathways for the Djabaguy for thousands of years, became the first pack routes linking the hinterland goldfields to the coast in 1876. From the Rainforest Estate, the track follows an old road and then winds up to the Cairns-Kuranda railway line. From the nearby bridge continue climbing up to Red Bluff which offers spectacular views down the valley and to the coast. From Red Bluff you can continue to climb along the ridge to Glacier Rock. Rest and take in the glorious scenery of the gorge below. The walk from Glacier Rock to Speewah is through some well-preserved upland rainforest with frequent ups and downs and small streams. Keep an eye out for cassowaries and other wildlife.
