Belmore Falls

Image
On this extremely hot 40℃ autumn day, we decided to walk off the beaten track, down to Belmore Falls, at Morton National Park. First we made a quick trip to the Hindmarsh Lookout for a view over Kangaroo Valley. Then we walked along Belmore Falls Lookout Track to this point, where we needed to jump the fence to continue. The track itself was narrow but very clear and well defined as it was an old official walking track. The track is closed now, probably due to safety risks and rock falls in the area. There were two signs to prevent you from going down this track, so you will need to proceed at your own risk. There were some fallen trees on the track which we needed to climb over or crawl under. Some parts of the track were a bit muddy. It took us about 20 minutes to get to the waterfall. It hadn't rained for a while so the waterfall did not look as impressive as last time we were there.

The rain was drizzling while we started our walk. It was a peaceful and easy walk, There was a small river at the beginning of the walk. I guess the water in this river runs to the waterfall.

I have seen photos taken right next to the waterfall and I was very keen to get there. Not long after, my question was answered. There was a steep metal steps going downwards, then more steep track, taking us ...

Waterfalls Around Sydney

After a week of heavy rain, I thought it would be a perfect time to visit some waterfalls. All the waterfalls and their lookouts were within a short walk from the car park. Very easy access for everyone. National Falls This is a waterfall near the suburb of ... Waterfall (surprise!). This is a short walk, starting from a lookout of the top fall. Then stepping down the steps to the bottom of the falls. Kellys Falls This is a waterfall near Helensburg. We visited from the car park nearby instead of completing the whole walk. https://www.beyondtracks.com/walks/garawarra-state-conservation-area/kellys-falls-from-stanwell-tops/ Macquarie Pass Falls This waterfall is at the end of a short walking track, Cascades Rainforest Walk, in Macquarie Pass National Park. The walk goes along the creek, through rainforest and eucalptus trees, which was really relaxing and calming. https://www.beyondtracks.com/walks/macquarie-pass-national-park/cascades-ra...
