ニューサウスウェールズ州の滝・トップ14

ブルーマウンテンズ国立公園の崖っぷちに位置するこの展望台は、狭くて柵で囲まれた場所にあり、ウェントワース滝が眼下の谷に流れ落ちる様子を真正面から見ることができます。この場所からは、急な崖や、滝や周囲の岩壁を間近に見ることができます。展望台のスペースは限られており、特に雨上がりは表面が凸凹していたり、滑りやすくなっていることがあります。

ブラックヒースの麓の狭い谷にひっそりと佇むこの滝は、岩棚から小さなプールへと流れ落ち、周囲は高い砂岩の壁と生い茂るシダ植物に囲まれています。周囲は囲まれたような雰囲気で、上部の開けた場所よりも涼しく、滝壺には木漏れ日が差し込みます。アクセスは、ポーターズ・パス・トラックに沿って急な坂を下ります。足場が悪く、落石もあるので注意が必要です。雨上がりは水量が増し、路面が滑りやすくなることがあります。

Govetts Leap Lookout sits on the edge of a sheer sandstone escarpment, offering one of the most expansive views in the Blue Mountains. From the viewing platform, you look straight across the Grose Valley to rugged cliffs and the thin ribbon of Govetts Leap Falls, dropping nearly 180 metres to the valley floor. It's an ideal place to capture some memorable photos while you're here.

Undercliff Track traces along the cliffsides and passes by a number of amazing viewpoints. If you can time your hike after a rain then you'll see the waterfalls at their full potential.

Excellent viewpoint for Wentworth Falls and the surrounding Blue Mountains. You can access the lookout via an out and back hike or turn it into a loop to take in more fresh air and views.

Sylvia Falls is a small but distinctive cascade within Empress Canyon, where water slides over stepped sandstone ledges into shallow pools. It sits among shaded rainforest vegetation and moss-covered rock, contributing to the canyon’s layered sequence of waterfalls. Its layered flow and peaceful setting make it one of the most photogenic stops on the Valley of the Waters track.

Empress Falls is a beautiful multi-tiered waterfall that drops into a deep pool, surrounded by steep sandstone walls. It’s a key feature of the canyon and a popular spot for canyoning descents and short walks from nearby tracks. Flow varies with rainfall, ranging from a light cascade to a powerful drop after wet weather.

Beauchamp Falls is a beautiful cascade on Greaves Creek, spilling from the Grand Canyon above. The water drops about 10 metres over a series of ledges, split by a rocky outcrop in the middle of the creek. At the base, scattered boulders and a shallow pool sit within cool rainforest, offering a peaceful pause in the shade before continuing along the track.
