Dinner Falls

Dinner Falls is a multi-tiered waterfall on the upper Barron River with three distinct sections displaying different drop patterns. The cascade flows through plunge, segmented, and cascade formations as it descends the landscape.

The area was explored during European settlement and later protected to preserve its natural formations. Mount Hypipamee National Park was established to safeguard the ecosystems of the Atherton Tableland region.

The Kooris, the original people of this region, have long held this waterway and surrounding land as part of their connection to country. These waters remain significant to their relationship with the natural world.

Access is via a marked walking track within the national park, easily reached from Atherton. The path is reasonably easy to walk and provides viewing points of the falling water.

The upper edge of the waterfall has a distinctive triangular shape that stands out from the rest of the falling water. This unusual geometry comes from how the water flows off the tableland plateau.
