Guide Falls

Guide Falls was one of the more satisfying waterfalls that we encountered in Tasmania. Not only was this an easy waterfall on the eyes with its wide block shape as the Guide River fell around…

Waratah Falls

Waratah Falls was the feature waterfall in the town of Waratah, which was built right above its brink in an area said to have one of the wettest and coldest climates in Tasmania. So perhaps it…

Pencil Pine Falls and Knyvet Falls

Neither Pencil Pine Falls nor Knyvet Falls were waterfalls that we expected to visit prior to our visit to Cradle Mountain National Park. It wasn’t until we noticed some maps in the visitor centre…

Crater Falls

Crater Falls was a series of small cascades and waterfalls where each drop was on the order of 5m to 10m tall though the cumulative height could very well be on the order of more than 30m or so…

Champagne Falls and Bridal Veil Falls

Champagne Falls and Bridal Veil Falls were a pair of attractive waterfalls that we combined into a single excursion that began and ended at the Lemonthyme Lodge Wilderness Retreat. Although each…

St Columba Falls

Julie and I came to St Columba Falls with some expectations given that it was said to be one of Tasmania’s tallest permanent waterfalls at 90m thereby drawing quite a bit of fanfare and literature…

Ralphs Falls

Ralphs Falls was a very tall but thin waterfall dropping 100m over a rugged cliff facing a wide open expanse of farmlands belonging to the community of Ringarooma. We were able to take in the falls…

Lilydale Falls

Liffey Falls

Liffey Falls was a series of four distinct waterfalls on the Liffey River where each of them had distinct characteristics as well as unique names. The individual falls were named…

Lost Falls

Lost Falls was a truly lost waterfall, so to speak, as it was dry both times that Julie and I had visited it. As each visit took place in the month of November, I wondered if perhaps we just…

Meetus Falls

Meetus Falls turned out to be a surprisingly pleasing and tall (I’m guessing 35m) waterfall that even produced a short rainbow on the day that we visited it for the first time in late November 2006…

Mathinna Falls

Mathinna Falls was an attractive waterfall that seemed to have a backcountry quality about it even though the walk to reach its base was fairly short. Technically, there were actually four…

Pelverata Falls

Pelverata Falls was an attractively tall waterfall that was said to be 114m tall. The main drop didn’t look to be that tall, but the overall height figure might have included the cascading…

Adamsons Falls

Waterfall Gully

The Waterfall Gully was a resilient series of waterfalls close to the Adelaide CBD (central business district or city centre) beneath the Mount Lofty Summit. In fact, of the waterfalls in South…

Hindmarsh Falls

Hindmarsh Falls was another casualty of the great drought during our visit to South Australia in November 2006. As you can see from the photo above, there was only a sliver of trickling…
