Spectacular Waterfalls

This selection presents five Australian waterfalls spanning the Pilbara, Queensland and Tasmania. Highlights include multi-tiered drops into rock-fringed plunge pools, stepped cascades along sandstone streams, and forested falls that feed gullies and rivers. Several sites sit within national parks and are reached by short marked walking tracks; seasonal flow varies from trickles in dry months to powerful torrents after rain.
