National Falls — Attraction in Royal National Park

Perfect conditions to visit currently after the recent rain as the falls are flowing nicely. Easy access to the upper falls from the parking area. To the east along the road you can find some stairs which take you to the bottom for viewing. This is quite safe and again fenced off.
