Killen Falls
A small waterfall hidden among farmland and rainforest, with a cave behind the curtain of water that you can walk through. A cooling swimming spot loved by locals.
Killen Falls lies near Tintenbar, south of Ballina. The falls drop about 10 metres, and a shallow cave behind the water curtain lets you walk behind the waterfall. The pool below is good for swimming. From the car park, it takes about 10 minutes on foot to descend into the gully, along a steep track with slippery steps. Entry is free, facilities are basic and there are no toilets. Do not swim after rain, when the water is murky or the flow is strong. The falls are about 20 km from Byron Bay and can be combined with a visit to Bangalow.
