Killarney - Places to See

Queen Mary Falls National Park
The major attractions in the area are the falls which occur between the township and the Queen Mary Falls National Park which is located 10 km from town on a windy road. On the way up are Browns Falls where it is possible to clamber in behind the falling water. Then there are the 38-metre Dagg's Falls beside the roadway and finally the Queen Mary Falls which drop a spectacular 40 metres into a rainforest gorge. The Queen Mary Falls are part of a National Park which provides a picnic area and a number of pleasant walks. Nearby is a kiosk and caravan park and 8 km further on is Carr's Lookout where visitors can see the start of Australia's longest river system. This is the upper reaches of the Condamine which eventually flows into the Darling which in turn flows into the Murray and which eventually reaches the sea in South Australia.
