No, but you've now bounded the southern end of the search area! Between your guess and @FNQGU 's guess.
It's known for not being "friendly" to visitors...
tully gorge

or Cedar Creek

@Avo, neither of them.
"came for a visit and stayed forever" applies to at least 17 visitors in the last 50 years to this place...
The Boulders, Innisfail?
Tully Gorge?

Yep - @TPC named The Boulders first, so was going to give it to him, even though Innisfail is a fair way away... but Babinda is closest town. Well done to you both tho'!
Was just sorting out a better photo (borrowed from interweb) that looks downstream from the lookout (rather than upstream in my photo). Here it is...

Guess granite gets sculpted like that with over 4m of rain falling each year. Also amazing how the water just disappears down holes in some places. No wonder so many people drown here!
Edit (other name is Devil's Pool) - The Boulders themselves are further upstream and quite safe for swimming.
Over to you TPC...

Ha ha. The “not friendly to visitors” clue put me off track. I thought about Babinda, but discounted it as I thought of the place as being quite visitor friendly because they provide two free camps - we stayed in both - one close to the Boulders, & one off the highway close to town. The “came for a visit and stayed forever” applies to at least 17 visitors in the last 50 years to this place... went right over my head, but now I get it.
