Description

The Wallaman Falls section of Girringun National Park forms part of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. The main lookout at Wallaman Falls provides a view of Stony Creek as it plunges 268 m in a clear single-drop, often through a rainbow-fringed cloud of mist. Wallaman Falls is the highest, permanent, single-drop waterfall in Australia. A second lookout provides stunning views of the gorge and the Herbert River Valley. Two short walks are available from Wallaman Falls. Banggurru walk 800m return (allow 45 mins) Grade: easy. Djyinda walk 3.2km return (allow 2 hrs) Grade: moderate. Wallaman Falls is located 51 km south-west of Ingham, about 1 hr drive through rural properties. Travel west from Ingham along Abergowrie Road to Trebonne. From here, the route is well signposted. While part of the road is unsealed, it can still be accessed using a conventional vehicle. Care is required on the range, which is slippery when wet. Towing caravans is not recommended. Leave your pets at home. Domestic animals are not permitted in national parks.
