Wallaman Falls

Wallaman Falls is a waterfall in Girringun National Park, Queensland, Australia, that drops 268 meters into a pool below. The water tumbles over a steep rock face made of basalt, surrounded by dense rainforest on the edge of the Seaview Range plateau.

Stony Creek changed its path around 50 million years ago when volcanic activity and erosion reshaped the landscape. The steep drop formed where soft rock wore away faster than the hard basalt above.

The name derives from the local Nywaigi dialect and reflects the spiritual importance this place holds for several clans across the region. Visitors walk through an area still regarded as sacred ground, where stories about ancestors and creation continue to be passed down.

The Djyinda Walk runs four kilometers from the parking area through rainforest to several lookouts. The route is mostly downhill to the base and requires a demanding climb back up.

On clear days, a double rainbow often forms at the base when sunlight breaks through the rising water mist. The effect appears best around midday when the sun is high overhead.
