Yarra Falls, Natural waterfall in Melbourne, Australia.
The waterfall, situated at the base of Queens Bridge, features cascading water dropping into the Yarra River through multiple rocky ledges.
Before the construction of Queens Bridge in the 19th century, this natural waterfall marked a significant boundary between salt and fresh water in the Yarra River.
The waterfall site holds importance for the indigenous Wurundjeri people who used it as a crossing point and meeting place for generations.
Visitors can view the former waterfall location from Queens Bridge, while learning about Melbourne's early settlement through informational plaques.
The natural barrier created by the falls prevented boats from traveling upstream, influencing the early development patterns of colonial Melbourne.
