Home Rule Falls

From the lodge, walk along the eastern edge of the dam, turn left and follow the dam wall to the hydro-electric generator shed, where a sign on the ground at the edge of the forest points the way to the falls. The distinct track follows a water pipeline to the falls. It is a gradual climb to an impressive three-tiered waterfall that plunges into a deep pool between gorge walls of vertical slate.

The Nyungkal ranger headquarters is located at Home Rule, with prior notice rangers will take guided walking tours to the Falls giving traditional knowledge of the flora and fauna of the region. Contact Nyungkal ranger office 07 4069 5147
