Chasing Waterfalls

North Queensland's tropical deluges and steep terrain make it a waterfall-chaser's paradise — if you are prepared for hard work, leeches, wait-a-while vine, and stinging trees.

Madoc Sheehan shares three hard-won waterfall discoveries in Paluma Range and Girringun National Parks: the hidden Birdwing Falls above Wallaman, Corkscrew Canyon on Gold Creek, and the Wall of Waterfalls on Garrawalt Creek.

Luen Warneke contributed photography across the feature, including images from Birdwing Falls, Corkscrew Canyon, and the Flagstone Creek abseil approach to the Wall of Waterfalls.
