Location and features
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]

gollark: That probably works best in advanced, functional economies like the ones you won't have after an apocalypse.
gollark: There are probably ways to keep them in line as long as you don't do anything horribly egregious.
