South Island

The South Island Waterfalls seemed to be appropriate attractions in an island that seemed to be the wilder and less populated of the major islands of New Zealand. Dominated by the snowy Southern Alps…

North Island

The North Island Waterfalls are just one of many attractions in this more developed and populous of the major islands of New Zealand. Anchored by the country’s largest city in Auckland and its capital in Wellington…

Western Australia

The Western Australia Waterfalls (WA) can be categorized into two categories – those found in the tropical and deserts of Northern WA and those found in the temperate Southern WA. The state was big enough…

Victoria

Victoria Waterfalls (VIC) were all over what may be the smallest state on the mainland of Australia. However, it certainly packed quite a bit of diversity in its landscapes as well as its waterfalls…

Tasmania

Tasmania Waterfalls (TAS) were sprinkled all over Australia’s only “Island State”, but we also noticed from their license plates that it also proudly proclaimed itself to be the “Natural State”. After all, it featured…

South Australia

South Australia (SA) was a state that we didn’t really think would have many waterfalls (if any). But with a little pre-trip research and a visit, we were surprised to have been able to visit a few of them…

Queensland

Queensland Waterfalls (QLD) were largely replenished by the monsoons of the Wet Season as the state was pretty much all about the tropical climate. But even with the seasonal variations that seemed to…

Northern Territory

The Northern Territory Waterfalls (NT) that we had visited so far are concentrated in the tropical northern regions of the state. Just by looking at the map above, you can see why they call this part of…

New South Wales

New South Wales Waterfalls (NSW) can be found as far north as the subtropical forests near the Queensland border and as far south as the Australian Alps near the Victoria border. With their differing…

Quebec

Quebec Waterfalls were sort of the secondary attractions to the more urban attractions that caused us to think that it could very well be the closest thing to Europe as you could get in North America!

Ontario

Ontario Waterfalls were largely overshadowed by the one-and-only Niagara Falls, but it turned out that the geology (known as the Niagara Escarpment) that gave rise to the Granddaddy of Waterfalls in…

British Columbia

British Columbia Waterfalls span this mountainous province from its wet temperate climate in the west shared with our Pacific Northwest across the US border to the Canadian Rockies dominating its mountainous…

Alberta

Alberta Waterfalls, to our understanding, are primarily concentrated on its western border with British Columbia as this province’s eastern region is dominated by prairies. For that’s where the famous Canadian…

Central Norway

For the purposes of this section, Central Norway encompasses the counties of Buskerud, Oppland, Sør-Trøndelag, and Nord-Trøndelag. I tended to think of this region as the gateway to the north of Norway…

Northern Norway

The Northern Norway Waterfalls cover the thin stretch of the country mostly above the Arctic Circle sandwiched between the Atlantic Ocean and the Scandinavian countries of Sweden and Finland as well as Russia…

Sogn og Fjordane County

Sogn og Fjordane was a county that was rich in waterfalls, glaciers, and fjords. We not only visited at least three different arms of the vast Jostedalsbreen Glacier (Nigardsbreen, Bøyabreen, and Briksdalsbreen…

More og Romsdal County

More og Romsdal (more accurately spelled Møre og Romsdal) probably had the most dramatic scenery of Fjord Norway of all the counties we encountered during our June-July 2005 visit to the country…

Hordaland County

Waterfalls galore in Hordaland county – a region that contains a gorgeous mix of glaciers (such as Folgefonna), snowy mountain plateaus (such as Hardangervidda), and fjords (such as Hardangerfjorden, …

Southern Norway

The Southern Norway Waterfalls are found in a region that is considered to be some of the sunniest parts of the country. While this is great news for folks who love touring its charming coastal towns and cities…

Westfjords and West Region

The West Region (Vesturland) and the Westfjords (Vestfirðir) were regions of Iceland that didn’t seem to see nearly as many tourists as what we had experienced in both the South and the North. The reason for…
