Wentworth Falls is located within the Blue Mountains National Park, New South Wales, Australia.
I started and finished this hike from Wentworth Falls Track Lookout - goo.gl/maps/FoXfAYSpL2tcj7tK9
In the Blue Mountains National Park you'll find several great walks, as well as opportunities for camping, swimming and fishing.
Visit the NSW National Parks website for more details:

Blue mountains never disappoints. Except for the fact you must then go back UP. 😅

My siblings and I would spend holidays all over this area & down to Blackheath as kids. Parents were fine with us going off alone for adventures spanning many kilometers of track, with the cardinal rule being 'back before dark or else'. I did the Ruin Castle walk from the bottom of the Scenic Railway alone when I was maybe 11 or 12. Different times, different kids.

What an adventurous childhood! No doubt you'd know the area like the back of your hand. Thank you for sharing.

Cloud in the valley is spectacular. I did this track a few years back, and it was awesome experience. You are such an early bird, and you deserve to “own” and enjoy the beauty of nature without anyone else.

It's not too deep, I'd say about knee high or so.

Nice video, and I am glad you didn't use a drone, unlike some other KZfaqrs. Drones are banned from the Blue Mountains National Park. At 10:37 you say there are no other tracks at the bottom of the falls. This not quite correct. There are two - Hippocrene Falls track follows the creek downstream from the base of Wentworth Falls and eventually meets up with Vera Falls below the Valley of the Waters. The other is Wentworth Pass, which takes you to the Valley of the Waters just below Red Rock Falls. It was open when you filmed your video, but in April last year it was closed after a landslide, which tragically killed a father and his 9 year old son and severely injured his two daughters. Above it is National Pass but it has been closed since 2017 due to a fatal rockfall. I don't expect either to re-open any time soon, but the Hippocrene Falls track remains open. But yeh, to get back up you need to ascend the same route you came down.

Another one I would like to do but damn that climb down does not look fun. Those ladders for someone with a fear of heights would sure as hell be worrying. Honestly my anxiety jumped just watching you go down some of that track. What a stunning walk though and the reward at the bottom.

@doubledee9675 Жыл бұрын

@@edyhekul I appreciate your reply. I'd suggest Victoria Falls at Mt Victoria. It's of low to medium grade difficulty, easier if the path has been well maintained recently. The walk itself is interesting, but the surrounding scenery is outstanding. A very different walk is Berghofer's Pass, one of the early roads descending to the Hartley Valley. It does face Victoria Pass across the valley and so can be noisy

I did this walk a bit too late in the day and it got dark and I got lost trying to come back up again. Being lost in the dark with all those cliff edges was a special kind of hell on earth. I ended up in a random street in Leura.
