Published in the Townsville North Queensland – Alive in 2020 guide, launched in newspapers down the East Coast of Australia including Cairns, Townsville, Mackay, Brisbane, Sydney (CBD), and Melbourne (CBD).
Luen Warneke and Jodie Rummer contributed this Wanderstories feature to the Alive in 2020 visitor guide, sharing favourite local walks and waterfalls around Townsville and the Paluma Range.
The article covers Douglas Hills (the JCU Stairs), Castle Hill’s network of summit tracks, and a waterfalls trilogy in Paluma Range National Park: Ethel Creek Falls, Diorite Falls, and Triple Falls.
Photography is credited to Wanderstories and Megan MacKinnon, with practical tips on access, timing, swimming holes, and respecting mountain-bike tenure on Douglas.
