Not Waterfall Gully and its not a 'first' falls, but it is the Adelaide hills.

I suspect this one will be particularly tough.
If it is the lower waterfall at Belair NP, then I have only ever seen it dry, and was thinking I should check it out after the rains.

Well done eggs. It is Lower Waterfall, Belair NP. It is often dry or only trickling except after significant rain.

It's quite pretty, and I imagine more so after a large storm...

Yes
Back in the days before they put a chain across the top of the main Standley Chasm. This is the top section just before you climb out the top of the more extensive chasm area. I think the larapinta Trail used to go through here before it was routed around the higher sides.

Disappointing if it's been chained off. I think we climbed up and down it before continuing out another way on the Larapinta

Here's one from NSW - what am I looking down, or looking at (if you know one, you'll probably know the other)

OK, here we go.

Easy one from NSW. Name the walk or the creek or both.

thanks Michael,

this one is in NSW - I know some (at least one) forum member has seen this waterfall from this 'secret' angle.....

might be time for some clues.....

We are in the mountains behind the Mid North Coast of NSW, where a highway splits two national parks down the middle, there is a walking track to the top of these falls although it has been removed from all current NPWS literature and a sign advises you not to walk it - although everybody does.

Hmmm.....sorry, this one is probably a bit obscure :( I just tried a few google searches and got no clues or pictures without knowing exactly the 'name' of the falls, so I'm guessing no-one has had any luck.

am happy for anyone to guess the national park at this stage, and the only clue I can think of for that is 'rock on', or rather 'rock of' ?! (unless any of you want to ask iandsmith for the name of the waterfall :wink: )

Hi Warren,

No it isn't Boonoo Boonoo

But as I am going away for three days and leaving bright and early in the morning, I am happy for you to post something, anything, just one obviously less obscure than my choice!!

In fact anyone can go….I've posted the answer beneath the photo!!...
