Great shot that really showcases the power of the water and the tropical climate.

It would be quite a ride in a kayak!

Always good to see the Barron Falls in flood. Thanks for posting. I've only seen them in flood once myself... 1980 I believe. Every other time I've been there they've been virtually dry.

Great image Shawn.

I've been there twice in the 90's and both times it was merely a trickle.

Thanks for posting it in all its glory.

Cheers
