The roaring Barron Falls today

Here's the majestic Barron Falls, Kuranda in full flight this afternoon.

John Robinson videoed this on his mobile and it shows the effects after the last two days of consistent rainfall in the tropics.

Click full screen, and wait for the mist to clear. Better still, if you're a local, take a drive up the hill and see the mighty river for yourself.

Nice video Mike. Yep, that's pretty much a normal flow after standard day of tropical rain and there is no flooding at the bottom, as in the suburbs near the river - that occurs when after a few days worth of really heavy monsoonal rain, usually end of Jan to March. I love it and hope Yorkeys Knob gets flooded in this year.
