- Malanda Falls
-
The Malanda Falls are located just out of the Malanda on the North Johnstone River, on the Atherton Tableland in Far North Queensland, Australia. They are not as spectacular as some of the surrounding falls on the Tablelands, however are a very popular swimming spot for residents of the area. The North Johnstone River is prone to significant flooding in the wet season. There are two 20 minute walks in the surrounding rainforest, with a chance of seeing a tree kangaroo.[1] The visitor centre books guided walks with aboriginal guides. It also has displays on the rainforest, geology and history of Malanda. The visitor centre/museum burnt down in 2010 and will be rebuilt in 2012.
