J C Slaughter Falls, Cascade waterfall in Mount Coot-tha Forest, Brisbane, Australia
The cascade waterfall flows along Ithaca Creek through eucalyptus forest, forming part of Mount Coot-tha Forest park at the western edge of Brisbane.
Military operations during World War II led to creek redirections and dam constructions on Mount Coot-tha, which modified the natural water supply to the falls.
The falls and surrounding picnic area, established in the 1960s, provide Brisbane residents with a natural recreational space within the urban environment.
Visitors can access the falls through a 715-meter walking track from the parking area on Sir Samuel Griffith Drive, which includes amenities and covered tables.
The waterfall displays its full cascade effect only during specific periods, particularly after substantial rainfall between January and March.
