Travelling the road circling Lake Kaniere you pass Dorothy Falls. The falls can be seen from the road bridge but better still walk the very short one minute trail to the base of the falls. It is possible to climb the rocks to get that...More

Nice Falls

Nice waterfall just off the roadway and easy to photograph from the road. Worth walking the other way to the lake side, which is 10 mins and very pretty.

A short walk from the road.

A drive to the falls. The falls are close by the road and are of a decent height. The walk to the falls is only minutes, to come across a good sized waterfall.
