Queen Mary Falls are found in Main Range National Park on the McPherson Range near the New South Wales/Queensland border.
The 40 m waterfall is located 50 km south-east of Warwick, 10 km east of the town of Killarney in Queensland, Australia. Queen Mary Falls are on Spring Creek, a tributary of the Condamine River.
The falls formed when water erosion by streams created gorges through layers of basalt and resistant trachyte.
The falls are currently retreating as large blocks at the bottom of the falls were not evident in photos taken in the 19th century.
Facilities at the falls include toilets, tables and fireplaces.
Other waterfalls in the area include Teviot Falls, Dagg's Falls, Brown’s Falls and Upper Brown’s Falls.
Famous quotes containing the words queen, mary and/or falls:
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her.”
—Bible: New Testament, Luke 10:41,42.
Jesus to Martha.
“This falls out better than I could devise.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
