The picturesque Tianjara Falls is located within Morton National Park and is approximately 30 minutes drive from Nowra, 2 hours drive from Canberra and around 3 hours drive from Sydney.
It is an easy place to stop for a quick look and photo as there is very little walking involved. Located just off Braidwood Road the waterfall is sign-posted, so it is easy to find. It is a short drive to the car park where you will see an information bay providing information about the area, it's history, flora and fauna.
From the carpark it is a very short walk (less than 50 metres) to the viewing platform. The lookout is fenced and there is a small metal viewing platform from where you can view the waterfall.
Tianjara Falls
If you look to your left you will see Tianjara Falls, which plunges 64 metres over the sandstone escarpment. The amount of water flowing on any given day will depend on how much rain the region has recently had. If you look to your right you will see the rugged Ettrema Wilderness stretching out to the horizon in the valley below.
Ettrema Wilderness
A note to those who suffer from a fear of heights - be aware that the platform underneath your feet is partially see through to allow views of the valley below.
It is a lovely spot to view the area and the waterfall, however there are no walking tracks or other facilities (such as picnic tables or toilets) here. The spot is popular with rock climbers however.
