Champagne Falls

Champagne Falls is a hidden gem tucked within Tully Gorge in Far North Queensland, dropping roughly 20 metres over a rocky ledge before splitting into multiple channels that converge into a single stream flowing into the Tully River.

Despite its modest scale, the falls are celebrated for their striking beauty and the "wow factor" they deliver to visitors who make the short walk to reach them.

The falls are best experienced during the wet season, when higher water levels produce the effervescent, champagne-like cascading effect that gives them their name. A notable feature nearby is a large tree that appears to grow directly out of the cliff face.

Champagne Falls is also a highlight for white-water rafters on the Tully River, serving as a scenic finale along one of Australia's premier rafting routes.
