Bakers Creek Falls

Bakers Creek Falls was an unexpected stop for us as a signpost on the Armidale-Dorrigo Road (aka the Waterfall Way or Hwy 78) caught our attention. It was really a series of cascades, but it only…

Wollomombi Falls

Julie and I anticipated a visit to Wollomombi Falls considering there had been a fair bit of literature devoted to it as being one of Australia’s tallest single-drop waterfalls at a reported 220m…

Dangar Falls

Dangar Falls was a waterfall that we didn’t expect to see going into our trip in May 2008. We happened to be aware of its existence only after making a stop at the visitor centre in the nearby…

Ebor Falls

Ebor Falls seemed to us to be a pair of attractive waterfalls with a gorgeous two-tiered upper falls (see photo above) and a plunging lower tier. This was yet another waterfall in the waterfall-…

Newell Falls and Sherrard Falls

Horsetail Falls (“Queenstown Falls”)

Before locals had informed me that this waterfall was actually called Horsetail Falls, I made up the name “Queenstown Falls” to refer to this very attractive waterfall that we stumbled upon when we…

Nelson Falls

Nelson Falls was a gorgeous 30m high wall of water shaped like an inverted wine glass. Julie and I were very pleasantly surprised to see this waterfall pumping the way it did on our first visit…

Victoria Valley Falls (or just Victoria Falls) was kind of an unfortunate follow up act to Nelson Falls as Julie and I were driving from Queenstown in the west towards Hobart out east…

Russell Falls and Horseshoe Falls

Russell Falls could very well be our favorite waterfall in Tasmania. It was certainly the best known and most popular waterfall that we had visited in the state. In fact it had been said that it…
