waterfall, interesting place
Total Height - 260 meters
Due to it's hydroelectric potential, waterflow of the Barron River above Barron Falls is controlled by releases. Releases are timed to allow water to go over the falls when the Kuranda Sky Train passes filled with passengers. In order to see the falls in full spate (which is a very impressive sight), one would have to go during wet season. There is a scenic railway that goes by the falls, as well as a sky-tram that runs above the falls.
