About this audio guide
This guide to Dinner Falls, in the Hypipamee park inland from Cairns, begins with a legend of two young men, an axe and a sacred candlenut tree. It sets that story beside the geology of the nearby Crater and the blast that science says tore through the granite. You'll also hear about the park's Aboriginal name and the cracked rock that shapes the water. Best heard standing beside the falls.
