Barron Gorge National Park is a protected area in the Cairns Region, Queensland, Australia.

[6] In 1885, the explorer Archibald Meston described the Barron Falls in flood where the raging waters "rush together like wild horses as they enter the straight in the dread finish of their last race ... (where) the currents of air created by the cataract waved the branches of the trees hundreds of feet overhead ... the rock shook like a mighty steamer tumbling with the vibrations of the screw."

Two hundred metres from the base of the Barron Falls an underground power station was carved into the cliff face.

The substation, workshops and staff houses were built around the area now forming the Skyrail station.

The Djabugandji Bama (Aboriginal people) are the traditional owners of the area known as Djirri Nyundu Nyrrumba, which includes Barron Gorge National Park.

[8] Visitors to the park have not faced any changes under the new owners but Aboriginals were then able to hold traditional religious ceremonies.
