Nandroya Falls
Nandroya Falls was an attractive multi-tiered waterfall said to have a cumulative drop of 50m. It seemed to us to be one of those obscure waterfalls amongst the plethora of waterfalls…
Wallicher Falls and Tchupala Falls
Wallicher Falls and Tchupala Falls were a pair of waterfalls sharing the same trailhead off the Palmerston Highway not far from Nandroya Falls. I probably could have described each of these…
Josephine Falls
Josephine Falls was a multi-tiered cascade that seemed to be more of a swimming hole and waterslide than it was a waterfall attraction with scenic allure. Given the heat and humidity of the…
Wallaman Falls
Wallaman Falls was certainly the one waterfall that Julie and I were determined to see during our visit to Queensland in May 2008. Our anticipation was largely based on the literature proclaiming…
Murray Falls
Murray Falls was a pretty easy waterfall to visit as far as Julie and I were concerned. The roughly 20m waterfall tumbled over bare rocks worn smooth by the waters of the Murray River…
Attie Creek Falls
Attie Creek Falls was a waterfall that Julie and I visited based on a recommendation by the friendly hosts at the nearby Mudbrick Manor near the town of Cardwell. Prior to their recommendation…
Jourama Falls
Jourama Falls was an intriguing multi-tiered waterfall that tumbled over at least five or six visible sections (from what we could tell). We don’t know the cumulative height of this waterfall…
Cedar Creek Falls
Cedar Creek Falls (sometimes known as just Cedar Falls) was our waterfalling excuse to explore the famously beautiful white sand islands and reefs of the Whitsundays. Unfortunately, this waterfall…
Araluen Falls
Araluen Falls (sometimes known as Araluen Cascade) was our excuse to break up the long drive between Rockhampton and Airlie Beach along the central coast of Queensland. This was supposed…
Mapleton Falls
Mapleton Falls looked to be a fairly tall and impressive waterfall as it was where Pencil Creek cascaded over 120m into the ancient rainforest below. Unfortunately, as you can see from the photo…
Cameron Falls
Cameron Falls was a light-flowing waterfall that didn’t seem to have a whole lot of life left in it during our visit to Tamborine Mountain (in the Gold Coast Hinterland) in May 2008. Our visit…
Cedar Creek Falls
Cedar Creek Falls was a small cascade (maybe 15-20m or so tall) tumbling over a mostly rocky area. From looking at the infrastructure and old paths, it looked like there used to be access…
JC Slaughter Falls
JC Slaughter Falls was supposed to be one of those rare waterfalls situated within the urban sprawl of a big time city. In this case, that urban city was Brisbane, and with all the people…
Purling Brook Falls
Purling Brook Falls (I’ve also seen it spelled as Purlingbrook Falls) was one of those waterfalls that Julie and I anticipated seeing prior to our visit. We knew from the pre-trip research…
Natural Bridge
The Natural Bridge was an unusual feature of Springbrook National Park in that Cave Creek actually spilled into a hole and emerged from the dark cave within through its opening. The combination of…
Goomoolahra Falls
Goomoolahra Falls (or Bilborough’s Falls) was one of those look-but-don’t-touch type waterfalls that we took the time to visit as we extended our time in Springbrook National Park after having…
Queen Mary Falls
Of all the waterfalls we visited near Killarney in May 2008, Queen Mary Falls was perhaps the most impressive. It consisted of Spring Creek (the very watercourse along which Spring Creek Road was…
Daggs Falls
Daggs Falls was the second waterfall we visited while driving along the Spring Creek Road (aka the Falls Drive) near the Killarney area. According to the signs here, the Teviott Brook was said…
Browns Falls
Browns Falls was a short 10-15m waterfall that was remarkable to us in that it plunged over basalt columns that we could argue were every bit as pronounced as some of the more famous examples…
Minyon Falls
Minyon Falls was a tall and wispy 100m waterfall in the lush Nightcap National Park near Lismore. We managed to visit this falls while doing a fairly extensive out-and-back half-day trip from Byron…
