Mapleton Falls Mapleton Falls looks to be a fairly tall waterfall with a panorama visible from the lookout platform at its top. Unfortunately, the view of the falls itself is rather disappointing as the falls is barely visible (see above photo) and there doesn't seem to be a way to get a better view from the forested base. This waterfall is near the town of Mapleton about 105km north of Brisbane. The mountains here are the Blackall Range, which itself is part of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Nearby was another even more impressive waterfall called Kondalilla Falls, which drops 80m. However, when we were there, trail access to the best view of that falls was being worked on so we weren't able to get good shots of it let alone visit it. Both these falls could be used as escapes from Brisbane or a place to stretch your legs and breath clean air as we made the long drive all the way to Rockhampton from Brisbane. Tell us about your experience with this waterfall.
