Barron Falls, Australia
From series “Most Fanciful Waterfalls of the Planet”Height: 256 meters.
One of the most beautiful and most popular waterfalls in Australia is called Barron. The waterfall is located on the river of the same name. Experienced travellers recommend visiting this natural sight during the rainy season when the water volume is maximum. Tourists visiting the coastal plain of Cairns during periods of droughts will see only a small stream of water instead of the mighty waterfall.
The Barron waterfall is characterized not only by power, but also by wonderful landscapes surrounding it. A drive to the waterfall becomes an unforgettable adventure. You can reach the national park by train, which runs between Cairns and Kuranda. Once the railway through the territory of the National Park was used exclusively for freight transport. In the 19th century, it was decided to start a passenger train here.
