- Greatest average annual flow of any waterfall in the world.
- 275 falls
- Height of longest drop 82 metres
- 2.7km long
- Surface of water flowing over falls is 40 Ha (Niagara is 18.3)
- Annual peak flow 6,500 m³/s (but with the rain we've had its going to be busting that rate for sure!).
- Mist rises between 30 and 150m above the devils throat.
My travel buddies for a day - a Swedish lawyer (speaks 4 languages, is a mean pool shark and obviously has Swedish genes...), a Spanish nurse (very extroverted but no English unfortunately) and his Argentine lawyer boyfriend (based in Barcelona and does speak good English, during his English classes when they wanted to give them a hard test they used Kiwi and Aussie accents! haha). A cool group of people to hang with.
This is out in the middle of the water - my boardies are being blown back by the spray, its a bit like walking into a storm.
