Both Newell Falls and Sherrard Falls were surprise roadside waterfalls as we wound our way along the curvy roads of the Dorrigo Mountains. In fact, we were looking for Crystal Shower Falls when…

Crystal Shower Falls was an attractive, light-flowing waterfall that allowed us to go behind it. This was another one of the waterfalls that Julie and I didn’t expect to see going into our May 2008…

Tia Falls (pronounced “TYE-uh” and not “TEE-uh” like Spanish for auntie) was one of several impressive waterfalls in the Oxley Wild Rivers Gorge system. I couldn’t find any information…

Apsley Falls was actually a pair of impressive waterfalls that we encountered while touring the Oxley Wild Rivers Gorge system. As you can see from the photo above, this waterfall seemed to be…

Dangarsleigh Falls (or Dangars Falls as well as Dangar Falls for short) was supposed to be an impressively tall waterfall tumbling into the Dangars Gorge not too far from the New England town…

Ellenborough Falls was a very pleasingly high-flowing waterfall plunging high off the cliffs surrounding the Ellenborough Gorge. Julie and I found this beautiful waterfall to be one of our…

Somersby Falls was a series of attractive cascading waterfalls situated near Gosford on the Central Coast of New South Wales. I’d say encountered the two most attractive parts of the waterfalls…

Julie and I were nervous. Clearly darkness had fallen by now. The kangaroos and wallabies (who knows what else was out there?) seemingly conspired to jump right in front of our vehicle…

This trip pertains to a quick fully escorted trip to Peru. It not only included the typical Cusco-Machu Picchu itinerary (i.e. the so-called “Gringo Trail”), but we also spent the majority of our time in the Amazonas Region of Northern Peru…

Catarata de Corontachaca was a pleasant waterfall surprise (at least one we didn’t expect to see on our trip) sitting several minutes west of the town of Pedro Ruiz. I was told the falls…

Catarata Gocta was perhaps the most impressive waterfall in all of Peru. This waterfall was said to be “discovered” by westerners in 2005 when Stefan Ziemendorff noticed the waterfall during…

Catarata de Yumbilla was a thin 890m waterfall plunging in several tiers. Although it was said to be taller than Catarata Gocta, we were only able to see about 600m of its overall drop…

Catarata de Chinata was an impressive 580m waterfall plunging in three visible tiers then cascading further into the jungle. In theory, we should’ve been able to get a pretty clean direct view…

…back into the familiar toilet I was hovered over and before I could do any more thinking, I threw up into the toilet bowl. The barf was a nasty blend of papaya from breakfast…

The “Machu Picchu Waterfall” is the name I’m dubbing this rare waterfall by Incan ruins… it was not often we were able to see waterfalls and ruins together. So this one particularly caught my…

“Honey. What happened to your eyes? They’re red?” said Julie. I was incredulous as I wasn’t aware of anything that could’ve made my eyes red. Immediately, I thought…

This itinerary pertained to a dedicated Big Island weekend trip. We waimed to visit the remaining waterfalls (or at least see them flowing) that we either missed or didn’t have a good experience for in our previous visits…

Knowing that the weather wouldn’t be as much of an issue as the last four failed attempts at helicoptering, there was a part of me that couldn’t believe that today’s tour was actually…

While I’ve noted several Big Island Waterfalls on this website, there are still countless more. The vast majority of these waterfalls are concentrated on the windward…

This was a very brief overnight trip to Julian in celebration of Valentine’s Day. While one normally associates this day with romance (or heartbreak, depending on your situation), Julie and I remembered this trip in terms of hiking and driving under a freak snow storm…
