Wallaman Falls Australia

Wallaman Falls day trip to the highest, permanent, single-drop waterfall in Australia, tumbling 305m (1,000 feet) through a rainbow-fringed cloud of mist to a large pool. Wallaman Falls is part of the 124,000 hectare Lumholtz National Park and a Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, which protects a diversity of vegetation types ranging from open eucalypt forest to dense rainforest. Open forest dominates the ridge tops and rainforest lines the gullies and creeks. The area is home to endangered cassowaries and musky rat-kangaroos.

Stroll 800 metres along the banks of Stony Creek and learn about the rainforest on the Banggurru walk. Look for platypus in the creek below the falls. Take the 3.2 kilometre Jinda walk into the gorge and enjoy a closer look at Wallaman.
