Ellenborough Falls

Australia's tragically least-known yet dramatically impressive and largest single-drop waterfalls - the spectacular Ellenborough Falls located on the Bulga Plateau at Elands, roughly 1 hour's drive from Taree. The relatively unknown fall is the major reason why this site is one of the most popular day trip areas on the mid-north coast of NSW, all augmented by its incredibly lush and peaceful surrounds. Visitors travelling to see the falls can make a day of it as the surrounding area is surprisingly well-equipped; a series of walks and wooden viewing platforms allow for opportunities for exploration, with a dedicated walkway that takes walkers to the bottom of the falls (takes around 1 hour). Add in a pleasant undercover picnic area, barbecue and toilet facilities, and you've got a wonderful backdrop for one of the state's best picnics.
