TheTully Falls, ahorsetail chute waterfall on theTully River, is located in theUNESCOWorld Heritage–listedWet Tropics in theFar North region of Queensland, Australia. It formed the eastern boundary of theDyirbal.
From theAtherton Tableland at an approximate elevation of 673 metres (2,208 ft)[3]above sea level, the falls descend in the range of 180–210 metres (590–690 ft)[4] into theTully Gorge National Park, near the town ofRavenshoe. Access to the falls is via a 1.6-kilometre (0.99 mi) graded track.[5]
Most of the water that would have otherwise flowed over the falls has been diverted to theKareeya Hydro Power Station and dammed byKoombooloomba Dam. As a result, the falls flow only during a bigwet season.[5]
