Blue Mountains Waterfalls

The waterfalls and cascades accesable from the main route of the Explorer Bus include the following:

Katoomba Falls and Katoomba Cascades

Accessable from Bus Stop numbers 10, 11, and 12.

Katoomba Falls can be viewed from the side, above and below. If you walk along Peckmans plateau from Bus Stop 10, 11 or 12 you will get views of both Katoomba cascades and the top of the falls. To see the Falls in full you will need to ride the Scenic Skway or venture into the valley below to view the falls towering above you from the Federal Pass bushwalk.

Leura Cascades

Accessable from Bus Stop 17

A delightful and very peaceful spot with a large range of cascades as you walk alongside the water heading for the final drop at the Cliff edge into the valley below. A great spot for a picnic.

Gordon Falls

Accessable from Bus Stop 18

Wentworth Falls

Accessable by train to Wentworth Falls Station and then walk down the Charles Darwin Walk to the top of the falls or down Falls Road.

Wentworth Falls is probably the most stunning waterfall in the Blue Mountains. Having two sections falling from the top to a ledge half way down and then again to the very bottom of the valley, if there was no break, these falls would be the highest waterfall in the Blue Mountains. You can see the top half of the falls from Princess Rock a short walk from the car park, however to really appreciate the Wentworth Falls region you should plan at least a few hours for bushwalking.
