Ebor Falls, Two-tiered waterfall in Guy Fawkes River National Park, Australia.
Ebor Falls is a two-tiered waterfall in Guy Fawkes River National Park in New South Wales, Australia, where water drops over layers of basalt rock in two separate cascades. Below the falls, the water has carved a deep, forested valley over time.
In 1895, the area around the falls was set aside as a recreation reserve for public use, one of the earlier conservation decisions in the region. It was later incorporated into the broader Guy Fawkes River National Park.
The Gumbaynggirr people, the traditional custodians of this land, know this place as Martiam and have a named lookout called Maam Nyayagi from which the falls are viewed. That vantage point is still accessible today and adds a deeper layer to visiting the site.
Both the upper and lower falls have their own parking areas, so you can reach each section without a long walk from the other. Short walking paths connect the viewing platforms and are easy to follow for most visitors.
The basalt columns over which the water falls were formed by lava flows from an extinct volcano around 19 million years ago. This type of volcanic rock is rarely seen at the surface in this part of Australia.
