Wallaman Falls
Australia's highest single-drop permanent waterfall, with a 268-metre plunge inside Girringun National Park in the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area.
Wallaman Falls lies in Girringun National Park, about 50 km west of Ingham. Stony Creek plunges 268 metres off a cliff, making it Australia's highest single-drop permanent waterfall; the site is part of the Queensland Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. The lookout is right beside the car park. Fit walkers can take the 3.2 km return Jinda Track down to the plunge pool at the base, though the climb back is steep. The final stretch of access road has tight bends and narrow sections, so caravans are not recommended, and the road may close after rain. A campground sits near the lookout, and at dawn the creek often shows rainbows and platypuses. Entry is free, and the falls are open all day.
