    A mate of mine says Wollombi Falls near Cessnock are Australia's highest. I maintain it's Wallaman Falls near Ingham. Which of us is right?

    Question #37620. Asked by shady shaker. (Aug 18 03 3:57 AM)

    		The answer is probably NEITHER !

    Wallaman Falls, QLD
    305 metres (numerous ledges)

    West of Ingham, high in the Seaview Range, accumulated waters surge along Stony Creek to abruptly plunge more than 300 metres down a sheer cliff, creating Wallaman Falls, Australia's tallest waterfall.

    Wollomombi Waterfall, NSW
    220 metres (100m as single drop)

    Wollomombi Falls, east of Armidale, includes a single drop of 100 metres. It is sometimes quoted as Australia's tallest waterfall, but this is only so if measured from its highest point, where the land has a much gentler gradient and the water does not truly 'fall'.

    HOWEVER !

    TIN MINE Fall on Tin Mine Creek in Kosciusko National Park, New South Wales, Australia is now regarded as the tallest at 360 metres (1182 feet)
