What a brilliant establishment and such absolutely wonderful people just so helpful and the displays are brilliant most definatly worth a visit of you want the history of this important part of Australia do visit it.
we arrived outside opening hours for the Centre. Nevertheless the swimming place below the falls would be a great place to cool down on a hot day. We took a very pleasant circular walk - seeking the elusive tree kangaroo or perhaps a platypus or turtle. We saw none, but enjoyed the walk. Clean toilet facilities were available.
Esta cachoeira parece mais uma piscina... tem até uma escadinha na borda pra ir até ela. Muito calma, limpa e segura para o banho... é um pouco gelada...
After visiting Yungabuura and Atherton info centres, Malanda info centre gave us most info on visiting the craters around the region. They have some cool visually captivating volcano eruptions for kids and lots of pamphlets. However, whats lacking is a natural history circuit info. we had to talk to the volunteers there about each of the attractions separately and make our own circuit.
fantastic spot to stop and get information on the area as well as wander down a few stairs to a level that has a picnic area as well as toilets. Go down some more stairs and you are at the pool that Malanda Falls cascades into. Just off the road so easy access
We stopped twice at the Centre. The first time, we asked for advice on spotting tree kangaroos, and were pointed in the direction of the walkway on the opposite site of the road. We were happily watching the turtles in the river when Drew, the local guide came over to tell us that he'd spotted a tree kangaroo ... our first ever!The roo was right in the top of a tall tree, but my friend managed to get a good photo nonetheless. Through binoculars, we had a great view of this beautiful animal, with its amazing tail.The next day we called in again, early in the morning, hoping the kangaroo might be on a lower branch. Drew hadn't even finished his coffee, but still took us out on what was really a private tour. No luck with the tree kangaroo (if Drew couldn't see it, no-one could, that's for sure) but we did spot elusive pademelon (little wallabies), which was a real treat. Thanks so much, Drew - your time and company were greatly appreciated.The other staff in the centre were also extremely friendly and informative. It also has some information displays, and very nice souvenirs to buy too. All in all, a very good experience.
The Malanda Falls Visitor Centre gave us excellent informationabout the Brolga Storks visiting in the area!
Did not see the tree kangaroo but had a nice walk through the rainforest. It was a bit unimpressive after being in the Daintee but it was still really nice.
Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Plenty of brochures about the various attractions in the Cairns Highlands and Atherton Tablelands.
This visitors centre was one of the best centres we have ever been to. The staff where very helpful and knowledgeable about the surrounding areas.
