Wallaman Falls, Girringun National Park

Discover Wallaman Falls, Australia's highest permanent single drop waterfall, in Girringun National Park, west of Ingham. Surrounded by Wet Tropics World Heritage Area rainforest, Stony Creek plunges 268 metres in a clear single-drop, often through a rainbow-fringed cloud of mist.

Gaze at Wallaman Falls from Wallman Falls lookout then follow the Djyinda walk to Herbert River Valley lookout which provides stunning views of the gorge and the Herbert River Valley. Continue on the 3.2 kilometer return Djyinda walk down to the viewing platform at the base of the falls. Be prepared for a steep descent and ascent on unstable surfaces. A moderate level of fitness is required.

The 800 metre return Banggurru walk provides an opportunity for the whole family to experience some of the beauty of the Wet Tropics World Heritage rainforest along the banks of Stony Creek.

Visit for a day to view the falls and relax over a picnic in the day use area near the falls lookout, or stay longer with an overnight camp beside Stony Creek at Wallaman Falls camping area.

Girringun National Park is also the gateway to the Wet Tropics Great Walks. Discover plunging waterfalls, lush gorges and inspirational views as you tackle one of the two day walks that start from Wallaman Falls and trek down the Herbert River valley.
