The rain forest area of the Otway Ranges has some of the most spectacular waterfalls and lush fern covered walks. / They do require some effort to access, particularly the walk back up, but they are magnificent locations to visit.
Amidst the great forests of East Gippsland this remote pocket is one of countless areas under threat from logging. This spot is amidst trackless rainforest high in the ranges in truely isolated country and to say that it took some getting to would be an understatement ! but the feeling of being somewhere so untouched and where little to few people have probably ever been is something that I will cheerish forever ! / EOS A2, Fuji Velvia 50. / ©T.Middleton2008 —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—— / / / see more of my enivonments under threat related photography by clicking below / /
This was taken in the heart of the Tasmanian wilderness between Queenstown and Derwent Bridge. There had been a decent amount of rain just prior, and in fact it was still coming down at the time of this shot. This meant that the falls were in a heightened flow and gave a lovely consistent & broad white curtain. / ~ / Browse Images by Category : Snow Landscape Nature

This set of falls are usually only a trickle, but after the heavy rain we have had lately i thought it would be worth a trip, i think i was right?

I am one of the few people who have seen this waterfall at all and on my last visit to it this tree had sprouted up in it. It was spring and the light was good in the canyon. I want to go back next spring and see what it looks like after a couple fires and the drought. Hopefully we have some rain this winter…

I had only heard rumors about this waterfall, until a photographer (whom I met on a shoot at a covered bridge) confirmed that it was a very real place. He also insisted that it was well worth seeing. Sunday afternoon was beautiful, so I decided to try to find that hidden waterfall. From the directions I remembered, I didn’t think the falls were very far from the road at Wallis Run creek. When I arrived at the parking spot that I was told about, I started looking around and found wooden planks leading across a swamp. At the end of the wooden walkway, there was a small sign (not visible from the road or the parking area) that said “Jacoby Falls 1.5 Mi”. So off I went. It was a fairly rough trail, well, not exactly a trail, but there were painted markings on trees, about every 50 yards or so, to indicate the right direction to go. After about 45 minutes of steady hiking, I heard the rumbling sound that I had been listening for, off in a deep glen in the distance. As I approached the falls, I heard myself say out loud, “This was definitely worth the trip!” What struck me was the fact that there were no visible signs of any human tampering or presence in the glen. It was just as nature had intended. Those who are willing to find this site, by taking the three and a half mile hike, are rewarded with this awesome view. The “people” (I use the term loosely) who disrespect nature by being mindlessly destructive or dropping their garbage wherever they happen to be, are not very likely to put in the effort to find this wonderful place. That is why it is so unspoiled and wonderful here! For anyone interested in experiencing Jacoby Run Falls, the trail begins just north of Loyasockville, PA, at the base of Jacoby Mountain, on Wallis Run Road (State Route 1006). The waterfall is on PA State Gamelands in the Tiadaton State Forrest. There is a clearing on the right side of the road where parking is permitted, It is just a few miles north of Butternut Grove Road. You will know you’ve found the right place when you see the wooden plank walkway leading across the swamp to the forest. This photo was captured with a Canon EOS 10D body fitted with a Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L Zoom lens, at the widest focal length. The shutter speed was 2 seconds at f/9.5. The camera’s ISO was set to 100. A Manfrotto, tripod was used with a remote shutter release cable. Your comments are always welcome!
