Sir, what do you mean people have died here…

Wallaman Falls is the highest permanent single-drop waterfall in Australia and is located in Girringun National Park.

“Nginba Warrgamaygan Ngarji” is a message from the Warrgamaygan Aboriginal people to visitors of Wallaman Falls, asking them to enjoy the falls while respecting the sacred place.

[earthstory]

Wallaman Falls Emerging from mountain heights, a small stream plummets breathtakingly over a precipice into primeval jungle. In the heart of a steamy rainforest, Stony Creek winds a gently sloping course through tangles trees and shrubs. Still dripping from the night’s rain, palm fronds jostle in the undergrowth, and high overhead a canopy of leaves filters the early morning light. Somewhere in the forest a black cockatoo is calling an omen of more rain.

As the current quickens, the creek’s meandering waters are disturbed by eddies and swirls. The water cascades down a winding gorge, then without warning plunges over a cliff to drop a sheer 912ft (278m) into the river below. This is Wallaman Falls—a ribbon of silver pouring down through misty halos of ruby, azure and violet. Stony Creek is one of many streams rising in North Queensland’s coastal ranges and dropping off the edge of a plateau into the Herbert River Gorge. Here in the southern tip of Australia’s largest rainforest, there are more different kinds of plants and animals than anywhere else in the country. Look carefully and you may spot a sleepy possum, a giant green frog or a 20ft (6m) python. Here birds range from tiny large-billed warbler to flightless, almost man-sized cassowaries, and the insect world includes blue caterpillars the length of your arm and moths with wing spanning 10in (250mm). This is platypus country, too: sit quietly by the water and you may hear the splash of a flat tail or catch a glimpse of silvery brown fur. ~ JM Image Credit: http://bit.ly/1I9kdL9 More Info: http://bit.ly/1I9kk9r
