Katoomba Falls, Segmented waterfall in Blue Mountains National Park, Australia

The waterfall drops 200 meters through multiple cascades into the Jamison Valley, creating a natural water display against sandstone cliffs.

Sir Francis de Treveno documented and named Katoomba Falls in 1831 during his exploration of the Blue Mountains region.

The Aboriginal communities maintain oral traditions about the falls, considering them a significant element in their understanding of the landscape.

Visitors can access the falls through several walking tracks, with viewing platforms offering different perspectives throughout the day and evening.

The falls feature evening illumination systems that transform the cascading water into a nocturnal display visible from designated viewing areas.
