A man has died after he fell 30metres from the top of a popular waterfall in Far North Queensland.
The 55-year-old man from Brisbane fell from the waterfall at Clamshell Falls, located in Behana Gorge, south of Cairns, around 1.30pm on Sunday.
Police launched a search and rescue mission and found the man around 2.30pm with life threatening injuries and he was in the water for some time, the ABC reports.
A Queensland Ambulance Service spokesman told Daily Mail Australia paramedics tried to revive the man, but he was later declared deceased at the scene.
A report will be prepared for the coroner.
The latest incident comes after a 58-year-old man died in 2019 after he slipped and fell while he was at the popular swimming hole.
The waterfall at Behana Gorge is a thirty minute drive from Cairns and is popular among swimmers and offers visitors with stunning views.
Tourists are advised to have food and water with them as there are no facilities in the area.

Visitors are also advised that the best time to go walking in the area is either in the morning or afternoon when the weather is not too warm.
More to come.
