Second Falls in Two Days

Just one day after visiting Wollomombi falls we drove out to the gorge(ous) country to see yet another famous waterfall - Dangar's Falls, which also plunges steeply into a deep and rather inaccessible valley. However, there is a long path whose return journey will take some 4-5 hours that manages to reach the bottom - and both I and Rebecca have done that trip.

Here are several views of Dangar's Falls taken from a viewing platform from the south side after quite a long walk. Again, the geology of the gorge region looks igneous rather than sedimentary. The third and fourth images here show a little of the deep and twisting gorge downstream.

The left image below focuses upsteam from the falls and shows the rapids accompany the rapidly descending river. The right image shows the river a little further up racing zig-zag towards the falls.


I like the images below because they show the wider and wild landscape of the national park.



And here's a picture of the falls taken from the north side - partially hidden from view


This next image was taken from a viewing platform just at the top of the falls and show the water plunging down.


And, finally, here's a lovely image of the falls from a greater distance on the north side.


Nice views, eh?
