Day 240: Stoney Creek Falls.


 Water tumbles down over the rock face of the mountains into the Barron River.  As the Kuranda Scenic train passes over the top of the falls to get a bird’s eye view.  Those below in the Barron Gorge National Park, get to enjoy the view for a bit longer.  Recent rain has boasted the flow of water coming down the falls, making it a wonderful place to chill out and enjoy the view.  It is also the location of the Barron River Hydroelectric Power Station that has a visitors centre open daily to the public.  For those that are feeling a little more adventurous you can take the plunge literally and jump in a raft and go white water rafting.  It all starts from the bottom of the falls.  Whilst, crocs have been known to habitat this river, I guess it gives you more incentive to paddle faster!
