Ellenborough Falls

Ellenborough Falls, Single-drop waterfall in Bulga Plateau, Australia.

Ellenborough Falls is a waterfall that drops 160 m from the cliffs of Ellenborough Gorge, creating a powerful stream of water. Multiple viewing platforms let visitors see this flow from different angles, and a natural pool collects at the base.

This waterfall formed over millions of years through geological processes that shaped the Bulga Plateau and created the deep Ellenborough River gorge. Water erosion gradually carved out the landscape visitors see today.

Educational signs at the site explain the natural formation and ecosystems that visitors can observe around them. These markers help people understand the landscape and how water shapes the environment over time.

Four different paths lead to the waterfall, with the most demanding featuring 641 steps down to the base. Sturdy footwear and a moderate level of fitness help, as some routes are steep and require effort.

Water volume shifts dramatically with rainfall patterns, changing how the waterfall looks throughout the year. Heavy rains make it appear more powerful and wider, while dry periods reduce its impact and flow.
