The Falls Water Falls

Highlights

Get ready to be wowed by The Falls Water Falls! These two-tiered waterfalls are an awesome sight, especially after heavy rain when the water rushes down and sparkles in the sunlight. At the bottom of the falls, you’ll find a peaceful swimming hole that’s perfect for cooling off on a hot day.

This area is also full of history from the gold mining boom. You can spot the old water race that once supplied miners with water. Bring your binoculars to look for colourful birds like rosellas, or try your luck fishing in the creek. It’s a fun and relaxing spot that combines nature, history, and adventure!

Some areas near the waterfalls can be slippery or have strong currents, so it’s important to stay safe with an adult nearby.
