Since I returned from the United States 7 weeks ago, Armidale has had virtually no rain. Instead it has been unseasonably warm and dry. This was brought home to me the other day when I took a visiting academic to see the local countryside. We wound up at Dangars Falls and for the first time ever I saw this dramatic waterfall without any water. In other words, the stream flow of the Salisbury Water has stopped, although there is still plenty of water in various pools along the watercourse.
Although the picture below looks as if there is falling water it's a mirage. You are having a look at white-tinged rock. The falls are 30m high (about 100 feet).

This picture looks down on the viewing platform at the top of the falls, and also shows the near vertical rock faces surrounding the gorge.

And here is one of the attractive rock pools still attracting water birds.
