Manjal Jimalji Trail Reopened

The iconic Manjal Jimalji (Devil's Thumb) trail has reopened following the realignment of a new access track to the trail head.

The trail was closed in November to allow rangers from the Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation to conduct the necessary works.

Clearance and maintenance works has also been conducted along the trail to improve the visitor experience.

The 10.6-kilometre trail is considered one of the best walks in far north Queensland and attracts national and international visitors.

The challenging trail showcases the unique vegetation of the upland and lowland rainforests and the amazing range of bird life that calls the Daintree home. It also provides an incredible view of the coastline and the surrounding rainforest.

A grade four walking track, the trail takes around ten hours return and should be attempted by experienced hikers with an above average level of fitness.

Manjal Jimalji is a significant cultural site for the Eastern Kuku Yalanji that tells the story of fire creation.
