Blue Magic

The Valley of the Waters is @ Wentworth Falls In the Blue Mountains.

The Valley of the Waters may be reached by a direct walking track, which descends steeply through temperate rainforest. Cool, moist, shady conditions prevail, and the area is a rich wildlife habitat.
Apart from the regular bushwalkers, you are likely to meet wetsuit-clad abseilers who like to take a more direct, and wet, route down the numerous waterfalls.
From the valley, National Pass takes the walker to the Wentworth Falls, then back up the cliffs to the village.
The Nature Track, & other cliff-top routes, make a good alternative for walkers who prefer to avoid the strenuous climb in and out of the valley.

Peter Hill

This would have been a difficult shot to make of Sylvia Falls – it looks like you are halfway down the steps. Good detail on the ferns for 14 seconds – you must have got there nice and early. This spot is in my agenda as soon as I get a wide angle lens as its so hard to get the full scope of the falls in that confiend space, so well done Melissa!
Melissa Ellison replied

Thanks for the comment Peter. Yes Im halfway down the steps, I went Sautrday the 2nd there were not a real lot of poeple around. This was taken at 1.15pm was a beautiful day! Oh I can’t wait to see your shots with that wide angle lens!
