Mitchell Falls

TIME : 2016/2/18 9:09:07

Leave early if walking to Punamii-unpuu. The easy trail (8.6km return) meanders through spinifex, woodlands and gorge country, dotted with Wandjina and Gwion Gwion rock art sites, secluded waterholes, lizards, wallabies and brolga. Most people will complete the walk in three hours.

The falls are stunning, whether trickling in the Dry, or raging in the Wet (when only visible from the air). You can swim in the long pool above the falls, but swimming in the lower pools is strictly forbidden because of their cultural importance to the Wunambal people.
