Belmore Falls, Plunge waterfall in Morton National Park, New South Wales, Australia
Description
Belmore Falls is a waterfall in Morton National Park consisting of three separate cascades that drop from the Illawarra escarpment into Kangaroo Valley. The water plunges over dramatic rock faces, creating an impressive natural feature visible from multiple vantage points.
History
The waterfall was named after Somerset Lowry-Corry, the 4th Earl Belmore, who served as Governor of New South Wales. His connection to the region's colonial history remains tied to this natural feature.
Culture
Morton National Park contains significant walking paths that connect three observation points, offering different perspectives of the waterfall and Kangaroo Valley.
Practical
A marked walking track from Hindmarsh lookout leads to the waterfall area, though the path to the base is currently closed for safety reasons. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and be prepared for uneven ground along the clifftop paths.
Did you know?
The views of the waterfall from different elevation points are distinctly different, revealing new details of the falls and surrounding landscape from each vantage point. This variation makes returning to different observation areas worthwhile for a fuller experience.
