Roaring Billy Falls, Cascade waterfall in Mount Aspiring National Park, New Zealand
Roaring Billy Falls is a cascade waterfall in New Zealand's Westland District featuring a vertical drop of approximately 30 meters. The water tumbles through thick native forest before flowing into the Haast River system below.
This waterfall landscape formed through geological processes during the uplifting of the Southern Alps millions of years ago. The stream has carved deeper into the rock face over extended periods, creating the current formation.
The native forest surrounding the falls features silver beech and other endemic trees that reflect the natural character of the southern landscape. These plants have shaped the woodland for generations without human intervention.
Access to the falls comes via a short walk of about one kilometer starting from the parking area on State Highway 6 and suitable for wheelchair users. The path follows established routes with solid footing and leads directly to a viewing platform.
The track passes through a rainforest with tree ferns and other rare plant species found only in this southern forest region. The viewing platform positioned across the river provides a direct perspective of the cascade and the surrounding woodland.
