Welcome to Fruit Bat Falls. If you've made it to here you must be on an adventure, we hope you're enjoying it as much as we did when we visited here. Fruit Bat Falls is an oasis in amongst Cape York Peninsula's modern dry savannah landscape. More than 130 million years ago the area of Cape York area was a shallow sea. Sand and mud were washed down rivers and consolidated under great pressure to form beds of sandstone rock. These beds were later uplifted. Millions of years of weathering and erosion have shaped these relatively flat or gently inclined layers of rock to create today's landscape. Example of which can be seen around this area. Above the falls the surface area is peppered with holes some small some big enough to sit in and relax (if there's enough water flowing by).
