Buddong Falls
Highlights
Get ready for a fun adventure at Buddong Falls! This walk takes you through the Snowy Mountains, where you’ll discover two gorgeous waterfalls in the Buddong Creek valley. The short walk to the first falls is easy, but if you want to see the bigger 60-metre falls, you’ll need to take a longer 1.5 km walk—just be careful as it can get slippery after rain!
Take your time exploring the area and listen for the sounds of lyrebirds in the forest. If you’re into waterfalls and nature, Buddong Falls is a must-see for your Kids Bucket List!
Adult Supervision Recommended
Because of the slippery terrain near the lower falls, it’s important to have an adult with you to stay safe on the trail.

- Always enjoy waterfalls from trails and marked viewing points. Do not climb over barriers as cliff edges and slippery surfaces may cause injury or death.
- Only swim where permitted. Don’t jump from cliff edges into water bodies.
- Swimming near or under waterfalls can be dangerous due to strong currents, submerged hidden rock ledges and other dangers. The force of a waterfall can be incredibly strong and unfortunately, many people have drowned. Follow warning signs and take caution.
