Cataract Falls is a multilevel waterfall located near the town of Lawson in New South Wales, Australia. It is part of the South Lawson Waterfall Circuit.[1]

Overview

[edit]

Accessed from a 0.1 kilometres (0.062 mi) track from the southern carpark of the South Lawson Waterfall Circuit, Cataract Falls is the only multilevel fall in the circuit, and the tallest one too.[2] It is the last fall in the circuit.[3] The two levels, med and low, can be accessed by two tracks along Cataract Creek.
