Malanda Falls

Malanda Falls cascades down 4 meters in height and stretches 30 meters wide across the North Johnstone River at an elevation of 753 meters.

The swimming pool infrastructure near the falls represents early tourist development in North Queensland and holds a place on the Queensland Heritage Register.

The visitor center provides guided walks with indigenous guides who share knowledge about the rainforest, geology, and regional traditions.

The conservation park includes two 20-minute walking tracks through the rainforest, public toilets, and designated picnic areas without entry fees.

The waters around the falls contain populations of platypus, while the surrounding rainforest serves as habitat for rare tree kangaroos.
