Wallaman Falls, Cassowaries and some Kiteboarding at Bowen
You see those signs, warning cassowaries, koalas etc, and nothing
presents itself. It is exciting when a wild animal is spotted, even more
so when you get to see a rare one. In my child's road trip boredom game I
scored 5 for a kangaroo, 15 for an emu, the cassowary and Australian Bustard a
100. I won the lottery ticket on this road trip, scoring them all
!
On the way in to Lucinda I saw a sign to Wallaman Falls and made a mental note
to check them out on the way back. It was an hour out of the way, but a handy
place to camp the night and assess my next travel destination.
The diversion was worth it as the falls were flowing. At a clean drop of 269m
they present a good sight. It was s bit of a workout for the vehicle to get
there as you wind up quite a steep road, and a workout to get down to the base
of the falls as you are near the top of them.
