A solo walk from Waterfall to Heathcote. I don't think I had visited these places before. The weather forecast had been for it being a bit windy and wet. The day turned out fairly sunny, with no rain. I didn't want to photograph waterfalls in bright sunlight - so I was a bit dismayed. This walk had been on my list of places to visit in wet weather. But luckily for me, when I was at Uloola Falls - there was reasonable cloud cover - so I had some soft lighting.

I found this a pleasant and rewarding walk with lots to see. Despite being winter - there were quite a few wildflowers in bloom and perhaps I should have carried a macro lens (The flower shots here were taken with a standard zoom and then cropped).

It was quite difficult to find a vantage spot that would give a good view of all the falls. I checked the pools a bit upstream of the falls. I didn't go far enough up however. There is another smaller waterfall (more of a cascade) a little bit upstream.
