Townsville to Ingham Drive The country township of Ingham is located in the heart of the tropics. Our drive starts in Townsville and will take you to the Paluma Range National Park and the Tyto Wetlands, before heading out west to Australia’s highest sheer drop waterfall, Wallaman Falls, before finishing at Lees Hotel, the original “Pub With No Beer “. Paluma Range National Park Mount Spec is an accessible, scenic section of Paluma Range National Park, the most southerly park in the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. Straddling the Paluma Range, the upland rainforests are crossed by a maze of streams and cascades. Open eucalypt forests dominate the lower slopes, and casuarinas fringe the creeks providing a perfect picnic spot. Go birdwatching and be on the look out for logrunners, Macleay’s honeyeaters and brush turkeys. If you’re lucky you might see the golden bowerbird - the male decorates his bower with green and yellow leaves and flowers. 2 Tyto Wetlands - Macrossan Avenue Off Bruce Highway Ingham Tyto Wetlands is a unique 90-hectare natural wetland site that is home to more than 230 species of birds, including the Eastern Grass Owl. It’s a carefully preserved natural environment that integrates lagoons, walking tracks and native flora. Experience the natural beauty and tranquility of this tropical environment by leisurely strolling along the four kilometre walkways. Hundreds of Agile Wallabies also appear at the Wetlands in the afternoon and early morning, certainly adding to the wildlife experience. Wallaman Falls - Turn off via Bruce Highway, Ingham Wallaman Falls is part of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, boasting the highest, permanent, single-drop waterfall in Australia. Open forest dominates the ridge tops and rainforest lines the gullies and creeks. The area is home to endangered cassowaries and musky rat-kangaroos. Stroll 800 metres along the banks of Stony Creek on the Banggurru walk, and learn about the rainforest. To enjoy a closer look at the falls, take the 3.2 kilometre Djyinda walk into the gorge.
