Amazing Australian Waterfalls
Australia has some pretty amazing waterfalls, though
they are often in very remote places, but once you get there it
makes it all worthwile.
This page is far from complete, if you have a good pic of an Australian
waterfall, please send it to us!
Alexandra Falls, Daintree N.Park, North Queensland
This waterfall is a bit hard to get to during the
wet times as there is no real track but you simply follow Cooper
Creek upstream for about two hours from the Heritage Lodge. There
is a pool at the base of the falls but in the dry season the water
temperature gets very very refreshing.
