Paddys River Falls, Natural waterfall near Tumbarumba, Australia
Paddys River Falls is a waterfall near Tumbarumba in New South Wales that cascades over granite rocks and collects in a natural pool. The site sits within the Paddys River system and is surrounded by native vegetation of the eastern Riverina region.
The waterfall forms part of the Murray-Darling basin, a system that has sustained local ecosystems and communities throughout New South Wales for generations. Water flow from this site shapes the natural rhythm of the region.
The falls serve as an educational site where students and researchers study the native flora and fauna of the eastern Riverina region.
Access is via a well-maintained walking track of about 150 meters with stairs from the parking area to the base of the falls. Visitors should be prepared for uneven ground and wet surfaces, especially after heavy rainfall.
Water volume changes with the seasons, creating different patterns as it descends over the rock face and collects in the natural pool. These shifting water levels change the intensity and appearance of the cascade from month to month.
