Barron Falls
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- See also: Barron River, Queensland and Barron Gorge National Park
The Barron Falls is where the Barron River makes its descent from the Atherton Tablelands to the Cairns coastal plain, in Queensland, Australia. Protected within the Barron Gorge National Park, the volume of water seen in the photo only happens after substantial rainfall during the wet season. For much of the rest of the year little more than a trickle is evident, due in part to the presence of a weir behind the head of the falls that exists to supply a small hydroelectric plant located downstream in the gorge proper.
