Tully Falls, Waterfall in Far North Queensland, Australia

Tully Falls is a horsetail chute waterfall on the Tully River in the Wet Tropics of Far North Queensland. From the Atherton Tableland at about 673 metres above sea level, the river drops 180 to 210 metres into Tully Gorge National Park near Ravenshoe. Most of its water is diverted to the Kareeya Hydro Power Station, so the falls run only in a big wet season.

The construction of the Koombooloomba Dam in 1960 fundamentally altered the water flow at this location. Since then the waterfall appears as an intermittent flow rather than a constant stream.

Tully Falls formed the eastern boundary of Dyirbal country, the territory of the Aboriginal people of the Tully region. The land around the gorge remains Dyirbal country, and the falls sit within the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area that also holds the rainforest of the broader region.

Access is via a 1.6-kilometre graded track from the Atherton Tableland side near Ravenshoe, at about 673 metres above sea level. Because most of the river's water is diverted to the Kareeya Hydro Power Station and held by Koombooloomba Dam, the falls run only during a big wet season, so time a visit accordingly.

Most of the water that once poured over the falls is now diverted to the Kareeya Hydro Power Station and held back by Koombooloomba Dam, so the chute runs only in a big wet season. The Dyirbal people's eastern boundary followed the falls.
