A lot of people who have stayed at the Reef Lodge Backpackers in Townsville have visited Wallaman falls. An estimated 100,000 people visiting the waterfall annually.
Wallaman Falls is a very popular
attraction with it’s cascading falls it is located in a UNESCO World
Heritage–listed Wet Tropic area, in the northern regions of Queensland,
Australia. The main drop of 268 meters (879 ft) which makes waterfall the
country's tallest single-drop waterfall. The pool at the bottom of the
waterfall is some 20 meters (66 ft) deep. This would have to be one of the most beautiful and most iconic waterfalls in Australia.
All the information you ever wanted about a waterfall.
One of the resident ducks. "QUAKE QUAKE!"
Baby Frogs in one of the many pools around the falls.
There are dozens of birds in the pristine region of world heritage
Forrest that call "Wallaman Falls" home.
And some of these birds will knock you car off the road! :-(
A Cassowary The sort of bird you don't want to upset cause it will chase you.
One of many flowers you will find in the area.
Veiw of the falls from the bottom.
The pool at the top of the falls.
The pool at the bottom of the falls.
Crows nest fern. One of hundreds of beatiful plant in the region.
An EVIL bird possessed. :0{ Or Maybe I just have no idea what sort of bird this!!
Pandamus tree

Remember to wear shoes when you go bush walking.
Tourist eating Turtles "Just Joking" You will see plenty of these in the pools.
The walking track to the base of "Wallaman Falls"
All in all this is a great day trip and a must see when you are in the North. I would suggest an early start as the drive to the falls is long enough, but remember you have quite a walk along the track to the bottom of the valley as well. I wold suggest good walking shoes and take a picnic lunch and a couple of protein bars. As well as some water. Oh! and a camera.
Not to mention your sense of adventure!
