Prepare yourself for an adventure if you are planning to visit the blue mountains. We spent about 6 hours hiking an it has great, but I should have worn better shoes for the occasion. Water and a snack are essential since you burn a lot of calories in these hiking trails.

I have been here a couple of times and agree this isn't the best falls around by far but recently we went to the falls after some heavy rain and it was amazing. Very loud, fast and nature at its best, visiting weeping rock was more like howling rock when we went and so looked and sounded amazing. The walking... More

If you're looking for a big gushing Niagara Falls type waterfall then you'll be disappointed. However, the waterfalls (and there are several) are pretty fantastic. We went after it had rained. It's very scenic, lots of photo opportunities and quite a good 2-3 hour walk if you do a circuit (we did the Overcliff and Wentworth Pass tracks). The Empress... More

This isn't the best waterfall in the world by any means but the whole area is spectacular and the walk to the falls is stunning.

It is good to see on raining season. There are 3 viewing platforms available. First one is easy access and the second is little tough. Third is in different route. Seeing the falls in different views is fantastic. Don't miss it!

I visited the Blue Mountains in early April 2012 while in Australia on business. I was alone and certainly not a hiker but this was a 'must see' on my downtime. Oh my God! Spectacular is the only way to describe it. Now, I am not a hiker but I did take hiking boots, which are a must if you... More
