Dinner Falls - Queensland

The Dinner Falls is located approximately 25 kilometres south of Atherton on the Atherton Tableland near the Mount Hypipamee Crater in the Mount Hypipamee National Park.

The Hypipamee crater is referred to as a volcanic pipe. The pipe was opened upward through surface rocks by gas produced from molten rock below and as a result of tremendous pressure, the vent exploded sending volcanic bombs far across the landscape. It has a diameter of 61 meters at the water level which is 58 meters below the platform.

Approximately 10 minute on concrete path to the Crater and the choice of taking the 'natural' path along to see the different levels of Dinner Falls.

Again a very dark, rainy and humid day.
