Since this waterfall faces west, its best lighting occurs in the afternoon. We saw Wangi Falls in the late afternoon (actually, we visited this waterfall twice - once in morning and once in arvo), where we not only got the benefit of good lighting, but we also saw a rainbow in its mist as well as a bit of the moon high above.

When we were here in the real early morning (just as the sun was starting to break the horizon), we saw a kangaroo as well as some bats hanging from trees. Sure there wasn't a whole lot of color to scene at the time, but wildlife sightings I guess are a perk of coming bright and early.

I understand that this is a very popular waterfall for swimming in addition to the usual touring (you know, walking and taking pictures). However, swimming access was closed due to the threat of saltwater crocodiles when we were there in early June 2006.
