Queen Mary Falls Queen Mary Falls is an attractive waterfall plunging 40m near the town of Killarney near the Great Dividing Range by the Queensland/New South Wales border. There's a 2km circuit walk that goes along the rim of the amphitheater in which the falls plunges as well as descends to its base. It's about a 2-hour drive from Brisbane to the car park for this falls. We actually drove here from Byron Bay, New South Wales and it took 3 hours each way. Like other waterfalls in the region, the underlying bedrock is basalt, which is evident with the faint hexagonal columns that typify this type of rock of volcanic origin. You might be lucky enough to spot rare and endangered species such as the Albert's lyrebird or brush-tailed rock wallaby. Tell us about your experience with this waterfall.
