The Tully Falls, a horsetail chute waterfall on the Tully River, is located in the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Wet Tropics in the Far North region of Queensland, Australia. It formed the eastern boundary of the Dyirbal.
Key Information
Location and features
[edit]From the Atherton Tableland at an approximate elevation of 673 metres (2,208 ft)[3] above sea level, the falls descend in the range of 180–210 metres (590–690 ft)[4] into the Tully Gorge National Park, near the town of Ravenshoe. Access to the falls is via a 1.6-kilometre (0.99 mi) graded track.[5]
Most of the water that would have otherwise flowed over the falls has been diverted to the Kareeya Hydro Power Station and dammed by Koombooloomba Dam. As a result, the falls flow only during a big wet season.[5]
