Ebor Falls

Ebor Falls is a two-tiered waterfall in Guy Fawkes River National Park consisting of cascades that drop over four layers of columned basalt rock. The falls create a deep forested valley below shaped by the force of flowing water and mist.

Official protection came in 1895 when the area was designated as a recreation reserve for public use. This protection status marked an important moment in recognizing the location as valuable to the community.

The Gumbaynggirr Aboriginal people named this place Martiam and used specific lookout points like Maam Nyayagi to view the cascades. These locations hold cultural meaning as part of their connection to the land.

Several viewing platforms are connected by walking paths that link the upper and lower falls and are easy to navigate. Parking areas at both locations make it convenient to access the natural spectacle from different angles.

This formation came from lava flows of an extinct volcano roughly 19 million years ago, creating the distinctive basalt columns visible today. The layered rock structure is a rare example of volcanic activity in this region.
