Top 10 Queensland Waterfalls
There are so many stunning waterfalls in Queensland it was hard to pick our favourites. So we have included the tallest and the widest waterfalls and some of the waterfalls you can swim under. Here are our favourite ten waterfalls.
Wallaman Falls is surrounded by a World Heritage rainforest in Girringun National Park. Wallaman Falls is Australia's highest permanent single-drop waterfall, created when the water from Stony Creek plunges 268 metres in a clear single-drop.
Millaa Millaa Falls is nestled in an oasis of lush green rainforest and tropical gardens; the water flows over the falls and down 18 metres into a fresh, cool waterhole, perfect for swimming.
Josephine Falls is located in the Wooroonooran National Park and is an extremely popular swimming destination for locals and tourists. The rocks form a natural slide into the calm green waters below.
Wallacha Falls is located in the Wooroonooran National Park. The Henrietta Creek tumbles over the mossy basalt rocks, forming a series of varying sizes and intensity waterfalls. A short walk away, you can also see Tchupala Falls.
Murray Falls is in the Girramay National Park between Cardwell and Tully. Set amongst the scenic foothills of the Kirrama Range, the fresh, clear waters of the Murray River cascade over boulders into rock pools, creating a fabulous waterfall with several tiers.
Kondalilla Falls is a stunning waterfall in the Kondallilla National Park in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. It is a 1.5-kilometre walk to the viewing platform at the top of Kondalilla Falls, where you can see the water from Skene Creek drop 80 metres over the cliff's edge into the rainforest valley below. You can also swim in the rockpools, which you will find along the walking track.
Clamshell Falls is located in the Behana Gorge, only 30 30-minute drive South of Cairns. With pristine swimming holes, breathtaking views and the stunning Clamshell waterfall flowing into a deep granite gorge.
Millstream Falls is reputedly the widest single-drop waterfall in Australia. The water spectacularly flows over the edge of a columnar basalt lava flow and is surrounded by dry, open woodland.
From the viewing platform, you will see Spring Creek cascade 40 metres over Queen Mary Falls and down into the rocks in the valley below. Marvel at the rainbows created by the waterfall’s sheer mist.
Nandroya Falls is created when Douglas Creek water rushes through a basalt parapet gap and drops 50 metres into the pool below. You can sit and admire the Falls or dip in the cool water.
