One of the most beautiful and most popular waterfalls in Australia is called Barron. The waterfall is located on the river of the same name. Experienced travellers recommend visiting this natural sight during the rainy season when the water volume is maximum. Tourists visiting the coastal plain of Cairns during periods of droughts will see only a small stream of water instead of the mighty waterfall.
The Barron waterfall is characterized not only by power, but also by wonderful landscapes surrounding it. A drive to the waterfall becomes an unforgettable adventure. You can reach the national park by train, which runs between Cairns and Kuranda. Once the railway through the territory of the National Park was used exclusively for freight transport. In the 19th century, it was decided to start a passenger train here.
The retro train features an incredible design. Its roadway stretches through a lot of tunnels and bridges, so a ride will definitely be not boring. One of the key train stops is at the Barron waterfall. Tourists can wander through the picturesque surroundings and admire rushing streams of water falling from the height of 256 meters. Not far from the waterfall there are comfortable viewing platforms, so you can graze at the waterfall in comfortable conditions. Spring is considered to be the best time for a trip to the national park.
