Scenic waterfall just a 20 minute drive getting Airlie. After rain is great, not to good in the dry season (July to November). And unfortunately after very heavy rain the road good and becomes impassable.
Just ask us and we can advise if a visit is worthwhile.
If you do, cheap mud crabs are available just 5 minutes before the falls. These are definitely worth while!!!
