Wet Tropics of Queensland

Barron Falls seen from the Skyrail
A lot of rain isn't always a bad thing in Cairns - it means our waterfalls look like this! With an added benefit of less crowds a visit during the 'big wet' has it's advantages! #waterlust www.cheskiesgaplife.com
Paluma Creek National Park is an amazing park inland from Townsville with some great swimming spots like Crystal Creek
You won't just stumble upon this 50m high beauty! Pull off the Palmerston highway into an unassuming looking carpark and then follow the signs. The walking track is 2.4km return and while not too difficult is uneven and along the rainforest floor. Definitely worth a little bit of a hike though! www.cheskiesgaplife.com
Wallaman Falls is the highest, permanent, single-drop waterfall in Australia. How high, you ask? 879 feet! And there's a trail to hike down to the base to get amongst the mist. This is the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, so in a wet year you may find the road has been washed out (as we did) but don't let that stop you - press on! It's worth it! Ditch the rental car, and walk what remains of the road to discover some of the oldest rainforests on earth and many endangered plants and animals.
