Waterfall Safety and Common Sense

Belmore Falls left Julie and I ooh-ing and ahh-ing as we were totally taken off guard with its majestic two-tiered plunge. During our drought-stricken November 2006 visit to Southeastern Australia, we were not only pleasantly surprised by its flow, but we also didn’t expect this waterfall to be so tall (about 100m) considering there seemed to be so little fanfare concerning it according to our pre-trip research. Adding to the waterfall’s impressiveness, we also enjoyed a nice meat pie picnic while gazing at the falls. Indeed, it was simply a relaxing and pleasant experience all around as we were taking a break from the driving as we were going from Wollongong to Canberra through the Illawarra and Southern Highlands Region.

We were able to get the views you see on this page from a pair of lookouts (see directions below). One of them was named the Hindmarsh Lookout. I didn’t recall the other lookout had a name, and I couldn’t recall which one was which. Both yielded similar views of the falls with the only different being the viewing angle (one was more straight on than the other).

In any case, there was some limited parking nearby each lookout so for all intents and purposes, this was a look-but-don’t-touch roadside waterfall. That said, I didn’t recall there were obvious ways to get close to each waterfall, but then again, we were sufficiently content with the overlooks that we didn’t really try to look for such hikes to extend our visit. According to the park literature, the Hindmarsh Lookout Track was said to be 1.8km return, but we might have cheated as the lookouts were close enough to the park road for us to consider it roadside (even though I guess we were technically supposed to hike the track to get to the lookouts).
