Another shot from my little anniversary get away two weeks ago. By the overgrown and faint nature of the trail in combination with the profusion of blackberries I don’t imagine this drop would get many visits. Getting to the top of the falls isn’t too difficult, getting to the bottom however was a little more involved.
The falls are in the middle of a big loop in the river, the two ends of the loop in combination with a significant altitude drop being too much of a temptation for the hydro engineers to ignore. So despite its relatively modest flows just above the falls is a weir with a pipe running over the neck of the loop with a small hydro generator at the bottom. The result is a very modest flow in between where the falls are even in spring. Still a nice drop despite this.
Took heaps of shots and finally packed everything up to go home then as I was recrossing the river saw this angle and thought…

Australia’s rugged landscape is an important part of my life and over many years I have explored some of the more remote parts of it on foot, ski, kayak and rope. I usually travel alone so I can take my time capturing the essence of these places without distraction. Life slows down and after a while I feel like I begin to merge with the land, nature takes me into her confidence and changes me. I hope you enjoy the fruit of these excursions.

just georgous!
fantastic place
comp is spot-on Travis, nicely captured
Beautifully captured image Travis. Gorgeous.
I love the hovering timber in the middle, it contrasts the flow of the Toolangi Falls water nicely.
Great work once more.
Looks even better close up!
Fantastically composed Trav…great falls shot..
Wonderful composition and exposure, flow on the water.
a great piece Travis, …lots of interesting tones and textures to explore and a fine composition, ..well done.
lovely work. This would also be a great book cover for evil story….there is a man with horns and long flowing hair about to cast a spell! (well, my imagination is in over-drive again – it is the flowing water down the rocks)
nice travis a place i have never bean..
