Waterfalls

Waterfall hunting is pretty easy in this part of the country.

Josephine falls was the first stop. Favoured swimming spot, with icy cold water when the day is hot. Yep we had to join to locals for a dip. With the number of people at the falls it was surprising to have a snake cross the path when heading back to the car. Just, goes to show to be vigilant on any path in the bush.

Next Murray falls, between Tully and Innisfail. Has a splendid camping ground and very easy walk to the falls viewing platform. We stopped to cool our toes at the swimming hole.

Then comes Wallaman falls. After travelling a narrow winding road through thick rain forest it was a short walk to the viewing platform. And well worth the look. Wallaman falls is the permanent largest single drop waterfall in Australia at 269mtrs.

We decided against the walk straight down to the base of the falls. The day a hot 39 degrees.Læs mere
