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.
