These falls are near Cooktown, Queensland and named after Alfred Trevethan a local butcher and publican in the late 1800’s. Read about his life on the Australia page. These falls are absolutely spectacular, but a 4WD is required to get to them as the road can get quite rough toward the end. There is a turn off marked by a tin sign "FALLS" on the right hand side about half way down Mt. Amos Road. Once at the falls, take in the surroundings, climb the rocks to get a better view of the amazing lagoon and cascading waterfalls. These falls are definitely worth the drive!
