Minyon Falls, Rainforest waterfall in Northern Rivers, Australia
Minyon Falls plunges 100 meters down rhyolite cliffs, forming a vertical cascade surrounded by subtropical forest in Nightcap National Park.
The rock formation originated from the ancient Tweed Volcano, which shaped the landscape of Northern New South Wales millions of years ago.
The waterfall stands within the traditional territories of the Bundjalung people and became part of the Gondwana Rainforests World Heritage Site in 1986.
A 50-meter wheelchair-accessible boardwalk leads to the main lookout, while a 4.5-kilometer trail descends to the waterfall base through forest terrain.
The waterfall's plunge pool reflects changing water levels throughout seasons, with periods of strong flow creating a natural shower effect at the base.
