Hinchinbrook Shire Council has advised that Wallaman Falls Road will remain closed until further notice due to significant damage caused by recent heavy rainfall.
The extent of the damage has made the road impassable, and authorities are urging travellers to avoid the area until repairs can be completed.
Council has stressed that there is no access to Wallaman Falls at this time, and visitors planning a trip to the popular natural attraction will need to make alternative arrangements.
Safety remains a top priority, and engineers will assess the extent of the damage before any timelines for reopening can be provided.
Wallaman Falls is Australia’s tallest single-drop waterfall and it is a key tourist destination in the Hinchinbrook region, drawing visitors from across the country.
Located 51 kilometres south-west of Ingham this stunning waterfall is a highly popular destination for locals and travellers alike.
Whilst repairs to the road are pending, the council encourages travellers to explore other attractions in the area.
