Barron Falls, Cascading waterfall in Kuranda, Australia.
The Barron Falls descends 125 meters through four distinct tiers, spanning 259 meters across the rocky escarpment of the Atherton Tablelands.
The waterfall received its name from Thomas Henry Bowman Barron, who worked as Chief Clerk of Police in Brisbane during the 1860s.
The Djabugay Aboriginal people refer to the waterfall as Din Din, maintaining their traditional connection to this natural formation.
Visitors can reach the falls via the Kuranda Scenic Railway, Skyrail aerial tram, or by car through the Kennedy Highway near Kuranda.
The waterfall transforms from a powerful torrent during wet season to minimal streams in dry season due to a hydroelectric station upstream.
