Waterfalls
Explore waterfalls within Australia’s rainforest landscapes, including walking routes, seasonal conditions and the surrounding environment.
Waterfalls in rainforest country are tied closely to season. A falls that's a thin trickle in September can be a genuine roar by February, once wet season rain has worked its way through the catchment. That variation is worth knowing before planning a visit around a photo found online.
These guides cover the walk in, the best viewing points, and where swimming is actually sensible rather than just tempting. A few of these falls sit right beside well used tracks. Others take a proper walk to reach, which tends to mean fewer people once you get there.
