==Environment== [[File:A223, Girringun National Park, Australia, Wallaman Falls, 2007.JPG|thumb|left|Wallaman Falls]] This large [[national park]] consists mainly of [[sclerophyll|wet sclerophyll forests]], but small pockets of rainforest also exist along the eastern slopes and hilltops.<ref>{{Citation | author1=Tracey, J.

Perhaps the most well known geological feature in this park is the [[Wallaman Falls]]. At {{convert|268|m}} it is the largest single-drop falls in Australia. The park forms part of the [[Wooroonooran Important Bird Area]], identified as such by [[BirdLife International]] because it supports populations of a range of bird species endemic to [[Wet Tropics of Queensland|Queensland's Wet Tropics]].<ref name=bli>BirdLife International.
