1015 Things to See in Oz - Waterfalls

Adam documents:

Thought I'd try and add some more of our visits to the 1015 Things lists that I started a while back.

Section 12 Waterfalls:

134 Horseshoe Falls, Blackheath, NSW - We visited the Blue Mountains just after Christmas, and visited Govett's Leap, which includes both the Horseshoe Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls. The Bridal Veil Falls was easy to see, bu the Horseshoe Falls were in another area where the cliffs formed (funnily enough) a giant horseshoe shape. It was a bit of a walk, which Elissa and Seth went to see, whilst I stayed back with the girls. The whole Govett's leap area is a very picturesque spot.

139 Fitzroy Falls, Fitzroy Falls, NSW - We have been to these waterfalls several times in the NSW Southern Highlands. One of the things that makes them spectacular is that you can go on a metal lookout that is above the falls crashing onto the rocks far below. Definitely a worthy addition to the 1015 Things list.

Honorable mentions: The book mentions several other waterfalls in the Blue Mountains that we haven't seen, yet we've been to several in the area that weren't mentioned - Katoomba Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, Wentworth Falls and the Leura Cascades. We've also been along part of Waterfall Way between Coffs Harbour and Dorrigo, including swimming at the base of the Dangar Falls.
