North Side
There is a small waterfall at Pauls Pool, in the headwaters of
Linden Creek.
South Side
This intermittent waterfall lies upstream of Clarinda Falls and can
be seen from the Victory Track. I thought it may have been Eleanor
Falls but now think another waterfall, downstream, and on a creek is
a much more likely.
Clarinda Falls are close to the Victory Track and are signposted.
They are named after Clarinda Varney, the first wife of Sir Henry
Parkes. At one time Sir Henry owned the land where the falls are,
and was responsible for some of the early tracks. The gully is known
as Parkes Gully.
This attractive waterfall lies in a side creek that joins the main
creek on the west, not far downstream of Clarinda Falls. See this post in my
blog for more information. The waterfall is about 100 m up the
side creek and cannot be easily seen from the Victory Track. I think
it is likely to be named after Eleanor Dixon, the second wife of Sir
Henry Parkes. There is a very rough track that goes up this creek.
The side creek is known as Parkers Gully.
This waterfall is the highest in the Faulconbridge area and lies
just outside the National Park. It is on part of the old
Eurama estate. The land was once owned by Sir Alfred Stephens, who
had named the property Numantia, and he had constructed a track to
the waterfall from the ridge above. It can be easily reached by
following a rough track that leaves the Victory Track and goes up
Numantia Creek - mostly on the true right bank. The gully is was
also once known as Cliffs Gully, after another former owner of the
property.
