Robert Louis Stevenson Pool
The Robert Louis Stevenson Pool (or RLS Pool for short) was kind of an unexpected waterfalling surprise when Julie and I made a last-minute visit to the Robert Louis Stevenson Museum (or RLS Museum)..
Afu Aau Waterfall
The Afu Aau Waterfalls (or Afu Aau Falls as well as Afu-A-Au Waterfalls; also called Olemoe Falls) was an idyllic swimming hole on the southern coast of Savaii Island (or more accurately Savai’i)…
Mu Pagoa Waterfall
The Mu Pagoa Waterfall was kind of a locals waterfall as it didn’t seem to have any tourism infrastructure devoted to it. That said, the falls featured a wide drop of about 5m tall and perhaps…
Papaseea Sliding Rocks
The Papaseea Sliding Rocks (or Papase’ea Sliding Rocks) was a series of waterfalls on the Papase’ea Stream that seemed to be well known and popular given its proximity to the town of Apia…
Falefa Falls
Falefa Falls was another swimming hole type waterfall, which promised to offer relief from the stifling humidity of Samoa. While I’ve noticed in the literature that it was possible to view this…
Sauniatu Waterfall
The Sauniatu Waterfall (or Sauniatu Falls) was probably as off-the-beaten-track of a waterfall as we wound up visiting in Samoa. Compared to most of the waterfalls that we encountered on the…
Sopoaga Falls
Sopoaga Falls (I’ve also seen it called Sopo’aga Waterfall) was another roadside waterfall on the Samoan island of ‘Upolu. Similar with the Papapapaitai Falls, we didn’t need to exert ourselves…
Fuipisia Falls
Fuipisia Falls (or Fuipisia Waterfall) was actually a series of two impressive waterfalls on different streams. The first waterfall was partially concealed so viewing it was kind of awkward…
Togitogiga Waterfall
The Togitogiga Waterfall (or Togitogiga Falls) was an attractive dual-tiered waterfall that seemed like an ideal spot to cool off from the stifling humidity of a place like Samoa…
Papapapaitai Falls
Papapapaitai Falls (I’ve also seen it referred to as Papapapaitai Waterfall as well as Papapapai-tai Falls or Papapapai-Uta Falls) was probably the easiest of the Samoan waterfalls that we…
Penny Royal Waterfall
The Penny Royal Waterfall really felt more like a mall and amusement park backdrop than a legitimate waterfall attraction. That said, the way the artificial falls was situated, it attractively…
Dip Falls
Dip Falls was a bit of an out-of-the-way excursion as it sat to the far northwest of Tasmania. For a waterfall that required quite the drive to reach, we wondered whether it would be worth the trouble
Waterfall Bay
Waterfall Bay typically referred to a body of water off the east coast of Tasmania on the rugged Tasman Peninsula. For the purposes of this page, I’m also using that term to refer to the 100m…
Straw Falls
Straw Falls was a slender but tall waterfall in a seasonal creek feeding the Erskine River. Since it was on such a thin-flowing creek, I’d imagine that seeing this waterfall flow would require…
Kalymna Falls
Kalymna Falls was one of those waterfalls that had eluded us over the years. The first time we attempted to come here in November 2006, there was a total fire ban so there was a gate blocking…
Beehive Falls
Beehive Falls was another one of the “minor” waterfalls within the Grampians National Park boundary where I happened to see it in two different personalities within a 24 hour period. Like with…
Clematis Falls
Clematis Falls was what I considered to be one of the “minor” waterfalls of the Grampians National Park. As opposed to the “major” waterfalls in the park which would have pretty reliable flow…
Chute de la Madeleine
La Chute de la Madeleine was definitely one of the more well-known waterfalls in New Caledonia. I suspect the reason why this was the case was because of its relative close proximity to the city…
Cascade de Wadiana
Cascade de Wadiana (I’ve also seen it spelled Wadjana) surprised both Julie and I with its size. We were kind of expecting a much smaller waterfall that was known more as a swimming hole, but…
Cascade de Ba
Cascade de Ba (I’ve also seen it spelled Cascade de Baa) was a rather obscure waterfall on the southern end of the North Province’s east coast despite it being mentioned on several maps and guidebooks
