Stoney Creek Falls is an impressive waterfall deep within the route for the Kuranda Scenic Rail.
As a matter of fact, the rail passes right before the falls and I'm sure you'll frequently see advertisements showing an attractive shot of the falls backing the rail and trains as they pass right before it. Well based on our experience, I can definitely say the honest truth is that you're probably never going to get that kind of shot of the falls because the train doesn't stop and let you out to get such a view. I'm not even sure if there's even a platform for that kind of view. Instead, you'll have to stick your head out the window in order to see the falls together with the train (a rather awkward viewing angle) or stay in the train and just see partial views of the falls as the train passes by.
In any case, it's the next major highlight after Barron Falls on the scenic railway along with panoramas of the coastal lowlands. To my knowledge, you can't see the falls any other way than through the scenic railways.
Directions: See the Barron Falls page for how we were able to experience this falls via the Kuranda Scenic Railway.

Whoever penned the last sentence hadn't been there for some time. Signs on the most important intersection aren't apparent which cost me about 10 minutes, and another sign was overgrown with foxglove...[more]
