Myth or legit: Barron Falls, near Kuranda, is most spectacular in the dry season.

Answer: Myth

Myth. In the wetter months, floodwaters regularly make Barron Falls a spectacular sight.

The Barron River winds 60 km across the Atherton Tableland, then falls 250 metres through Barron Gorge onto the coastal lowlands. The park is part of the traditional lands of the Djabuganydji Bama.
