Great place to stop, recharge and have a hike, the bigger lakes are farthest from car park, well worth the 10 - 15 minutes walk, many birds, wallabies and maybe a croc or two.

Whether you want to rock hop along the creek to the base of the falls or just to walk along the path to the look out it will be worth the effort. The number of birds in the camping area in the morning was fantastic.

The Visitor Information Centre is well worth the time to visit. Staff are friendly, helpful and well informed about Ingham and the surrounding areas. The displays on the creation of the Tyto wetland, its habitats, birds etc are interesting and provide excellent information on what to see on the walks. It’s also an attractive building. We wandered the walks several times over three days to watch birds and enjoy the peaceful ambience and habitats.

I had been champing at the bit to visit for years and finally camped for a night at Wallaman Falls and got up earlyish the next morning and did the 3.2km return trek to the bottom of the falls and back. Highlights of my experience: -The drive in from Ingham (50km) is an adventure in itself. Heading in you are stopped by cattle on the road who are chilled and not so keen on moving and the last 15kms or so is a snaky uphill drive where you pass cassowary signs and dense rainforest. The road is diverse starting with open farmland, to bushland and then to the tropical rainforests of Girringun National Park as you get higher up -The campsite was surprisingly large and well equipped with two large camping area, toilets (non-flush kind), tap with water, BBQ area and a basic shower. The night I visited it was busy with lots of families with kids, but the noise ceased fairly early and it was heaven to sit by the tent with a glass of red and gaze at the stars listening to music -The falls themselves are something to behold. Wallaman is the largest single drop waterfall in Australia at 268m and you get a perfect view from the top at the main lookout which is about 200m drive from the campground. -The walk down to the falls and back (called the “Jinda Walk”) is a must do. It is a steep 3.2km walk and coming up is obviously harder. The walk is beautiful and takes you through some magnificent rainforest with diverse plant life (this is some of the oldest Gondwana rainforest on Earth). At the end there is some rock hopping involved to get to the plunge pool where you can swim (which I did). The water is invigorating and the spray hits you before you even get in. I planned to swim right up to the falls but changed my mind as the water is too strong. At the top there is a tap with water which says it should be treated but I was so thirsty I drank it and it tasted like normal water and I had no issues. I forgot water and drank some water from the pool at the falls, and it was amazing, like fresh spring water. I had the falls to myself for most of the time as I left early, but heading back up to the top I was passing a lot of people. So definitely go early. My visit to Wallaman Falls was a magical experience and one I won’t forget. As I think of it I think it would be amazing to take a helicopter ride over the falls but then the noise would create disturbances to the natural tranquillity (even the sound of drones is annoying). Maybe once a month they could offer one, I think it would be amazing.
