The Broken Nose Walk is a branch of the walk to the summit of Bartle Frere in Wooroonooran national Park 2km south of the township of Mirriwinni.

The trailhead to Broken Nose and Bartle Frere begins at the Josephine Falls carpark close to the ranger’s office. The beginning of the track is wide and clear through a tropical rainforest. It takes approximately one hour to reach Majura Creek crossing. This is a nice place to take a break, sit beside crystal clear mountain pools and towering boulders. It is a good idea to top up the water here as well. From the creek side the track takes a westerly ascent. The path narrows and becomes covered with rocks and the gnarled root systems of dense forest. Follow a narrow ridge towards the first of the two campsites known as Big Rock on the Majura Creek. Here is the turn off up to Broken Nose which sits at 926 metresabove sea level and offers views across the coastal plains. The climb from here will take 3 to 4 hours return from Majura Creek. From MajuraCreek campsite you can return to Josephine Falls or continue on to the summit of Bartle Frere.

Remember that you will need to obtain a permit if you wish to camp overnight on Bartle Frere. Online permits can be obtained at the NPWS website
