Simpson Falls, Waterfall in Mount Coot-tha Forest, Brisbane, Australia
Simpson Falls consists of multiple cascades along West Ithaca Creek, with a main drop visible beneath a footbridge in the Mount Coot-tha Reserve.
The waterfall and surrounding forest area became part of Brisbane's protected lands when Mount Coot-tha Reserve was established as a public recreation space.
The waterfall serves as a natural gathering point where Brisbane residents participate in outdoor activities such as hiking, photography, and nature observation.
Visitors can access the falls through a 650-meter walking track from Simpson Falls Picnic Area, which includes tables, barbecues, and toilet facilities.
The falls flow varies substantially with rainfall patterns, transforming from gentle cascades during dry periods to powerful water streams during wet seasons.
