Information

National Falls is one of the most spectacular watefalls around Sydney. The waterfall has two separate levels, both with wide overhangs behind the plunging water.
The best entry point for National Falls is via Waterfall. From both sides of the Princes Highway, follow signs to the Royal National Park. National Falls is located 2.3km from the start of the drive through the park. Be careful not to miss the small dirt carpark for the falls on the left of the road. From this carpark, there is a fenced-off lookout over the upper cascades above the main falls. To the right of this fence, back towards the main road, is a staircase which takes you directly to National Falls.
Although the overhang at the Upper Falls is an impressive spot… the Lower Falls is even more spectacular. It’s a bit tricker to find the access track – you need to walk about 200m down McKell Avenue, and look for a set of well-constructed stone steps that head down from the road.
