Barron Falls - Queensland

The Barron Falls is a large and steep waterfall near Kuranda (Cairns) in Far North Queensland.
Best time to see is just after the wet season.
These photo's were taken in February in between heavy rain on a very humid day.
The Barron Falls may be viewed and accessed by road via the Kennedy Highway that crosses the Barron River upstream of the falls, near Kuranda.
The narrow-gauge 
Kuranda Scenic Railway and the Skyrail aerial tram also leads from the coastal plain to the tablelands.


Total drop of falls: 125 meters
