Queen Mary Falls Queen Mary Falls is an attractive waterfall plunging some 40m over what seemed to be a basalt wall. Admittedly, we didn't allow ourselves much time to really enjoy this waterfall. We only saw the falls from the upper overlooks, but there was a longer walk (I think a 2km circuit walk) that went to the waterfall's base. I still wished we did it (2km was totally manageable), but we did spend nearly 3 hours just getting all the way here, it was getting late in the afternoon where we still had to return to Byron Bay, and Julie didn't feel like doing the full circuit. Oh well, maybe next time... I believe it's about a 2-hour drive from Brisbane to the car park for this falls, but we drove here all the way from Bryon Bay, and that took 3 hours each way. We went north on Killarney Rd for about 6km then turned right onto Spring Creek Rd (I believe there are signs here for the waterfalls at this point). We then followed Spring Creek Rd for about 7km to the Queen Mary Falls car park (passing by Browns Falls and Daggs Falls en route). I recalled there was additional signage near the car park indicating there was another waterfall in the vicinity called Cheviot Falls, but we didn't visit it.
