Sir John Falls

Just downstream from where the Franklin River joins the Gordon RIver in Tasmania’s South-West World Heritage Area. Despite its remote, pristine appearance, this spot recieves thousands of visitors per year from nearby Strahan. After rafting the Franklin River, it’s a bit of a shock to arrive here amidst a throng of tourists, a float plane, and a large tourist ferry…

    I’ve seen probably 20-30 shots of this waterfall, and this one is certainly close to the best. I’ve been admiring your shots for a few years now Doug. You certainly are lucky in your line of work to be in the Antarctic so often!
