# 6 waterfalls near Kiama, all within an hour's drive

The closest of the waterfalls near Kiama is Minnamurra Falls in Budderoo National Park, about 25 minutes' drive (18 km) from Kiama Ridge Waters.

## Compare the waterfalls within an hour of Kiama

Photo: Ymblanter, [CC BY-SA 4.0](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Budderoo_NP_View_from_Jamberoo_Lookout_1.jpg)

Kiama sits below the Illawarra escarpment, so the waterfalls are up the hill, not on the coast. Six falls are within about an hour's drive of Kiama Ridge Waters, and two of them you can only see from [lookouts](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/landmarks-and-walks/kiama-lookouts/). Drive times below are from the apartments at 2 [Surfleet Place](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/live-and-own/kiama-ridge-waters-location/) to each car park.

Waterfall | Park | Drive from Kiama Ridge Waters | NPWS walk | Park fee |

Minnamurra Falls | Budderoo NP | About 25 min (18 km) | 4.2 km return, 1 to 2 hrs, Grade 4 | $12 per vehicle per day |

Cascades | Macquarie Pass NP | About 29 min (31.1 km) | 2 km return, 45 min to 1 hr 15, Grade 3 | None listed |

Carrington Falls | Budderoo NP | About 40 min (34.2 km) | 0.6 km loop, 30 to 45 min, Grade 3 | None (fees apply at [Minnamurra](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/towns/minnamurra/) only) |

Belmore Falls | Morton NP | About 57 min (48.2 km) | 1.8 km return, 30 min to 1 hr, Grade 3 | Not listed for this track |

Walk lengths, grades and fees come from NSW National Parks and [Wildlife](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/landmarks-and-walks/kiama-wildlife-and-nature-walks/) Service (NPWS). Fees and track conditions change, so check before you go. For walks closer to the apartments, see our guide to [walks in Kiama](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/landmarks-and-walks/walks-in-kiama/).

## Start with Minnamurra Falls in Budderoo National Park

Photo: Cjones191, [CC BY-SA 4.0](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Minnamurra_Falls_in_Budderoo_National_Park,_New_South_Wales_in_January_2022.jpg)

Minnamurra Falls is the closest waterfall to Kiama and the easiest to fit into a morning. Drive about 25 minutes (18 km) through Jamberoo to the Minnamurra Rainforest Centre at 345 Minnamurra Falls Road. From there, the Minnamurra Falls walk branches off halfway around the Lyrebird Loop.

NPWS lists the walk as 4.2 km return, 1 to 2 hours, Grade 4. It follows an elevated walkway and paved track with steep sections, and there are seats along the way. You pass viewing platforms over the lower and upper falls. There's no [wheelchair](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/plan-your-trip/accessible-kiama/) access on the falls walk.

Park entry is $12 per vehicle per day in the Minnamurra Rainforest area. The gates open at 9am and close at 5pm, last access is 3pm, and the Rainforest Centre is open 9am to 4pm (closed Christmas Day). There's no river access and no swimming here, which protects water quality, and pets aren't permitted. NPWS says the centre can close at short notice when the car park fills, and suggests arriving outside 11am to 2pm.

Our [Minnamurra Rainforest guide](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/landmarks-and-walks/minnamurra-rainforest/) covers the Lyrebird Loop, the picnic area and wildlife in more detail.

### Minnamurra Falls walk

Minnamurra Rainforest Centre, 345 Minnamurra Falls Road, Jamberoo

4.2 km return, 1 to 2 hours, Grade 4. $12 per vehicle per day. Gates 9am to 5pm, last access 3pm.

## Look down on Carrington Falls from the Falls View platform

Photo: Ymblanter, [CC BY-SA 4.0](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Budderoo_NP_Carrington_Falls_seen_from_Falls_View_1.jpg)

At Carrington Falls the Kangaroo River drops more than 50 metres into the gully below. It's about 40 minutes' drive (34.2 km) from Kiama Ridge Waters, up Jamberoo Mountain Road and along Cloonty Road to the Carrington Falls picnic area, also called Thomas Place.

The Carrington Falls walking track is a 0.6 km loop, 30 to 45 minutes, Grade 3, with short steep hills and many steps. It takes in the Falls View and Valley View lookout platforms, then drops down a steep metal stairway into a rainforest gully. There's no wheelchair access. The short Izzards lookout track gives another view of the falls.

Across the river, Nellies Glen picnic area sits under tall eucalypts, with the longer Missingham and Warris Chair lookout tracks over the gorge. NPWS mentions a dip in the waterhole at Nellies Glen, but keep well back from the cliff edges and never try to reach the top or base of the falls. There's no park fee here, as fees apply only in the Minnamurra Rainforest area.

If you are travelling with a dog, leave it behind for this one. A 1080 fox baiting program covers Carrington Falls, the Budderoo Plateau and Barren Grounds until January 2027, and pets aren't permitted in the area.

## Follow the creek to the Cascades at Macquarie Pass

Photo: Lilly Moorhouse, [CC BY-SA 4.0](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Macquarie_Pass_National_Park_04.jpg)

The Cascades walk in Macquarie Pass National Park is the quickest rainforest waterfall walk after Minnamurra. It's about 29 minutes' drive (31.1 km) from Kiama Ridge Waters, at the foot of Macquarie Pass on the Illawarra Highway, starting from the Cascades picnic area.

NPWS lists it as 2 km return, 45 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes, Grade 3. The track follows a creek through shady rainforest to a pool and waterfall. Look for lyrebirds, goannas and native figs, and bring insect repellent for leeches and ticks. There's no wheelchair access.

Two other tracks in the park are closed: the Macquarie Rivulet (Jump Rock) track, because of steep, unstable ground, and the informal Clover Falls track, because of rockfall risk. Stick to the signposted Cascades walk.

### Cascades walk

## See Belmore Falls from the lookouts, never the base

Photo: Poidabro, [CC BY-SA 4.0](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Belmore_Falls_in_Morton_National_Park.jpg)

Belmore Falls is in Morton National Park, near Robertson, about 57 minutes' drive (48.2 km) from Kiama Ridge Waters. The last stretch from Robertson is a narrow, winding dirt road, so drive with care.

The Belmore Falls walking track starts at the Hindmarsh lookout car park, which looks out over Kangaroo Valley. NPWS lists it as 1.8 km return, 30 minutes to 1 hour, Grade 3. The track passes several lookouts and finishes at a view of the falls. In spring, look for honey flower, banksia, yellow wattle and white tea tree.

All access to the base of Belmore Falls is permanently closed because of the risk of falling from the cliff edge. The closure includes the top of the falls and access from the Belmore Falls Road causeway. NPWS also asks visitors not to try to view the falls from the Barrengarry Creek crossing. Stay on the marked track and enjoy the view from the lookouts.

### Belmore Falls walking track

## Walk the boardwalk to Fitzroy Falls

Photo: Timothy M Roberts, [CC BY-SA 2.0](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fitzroy_Falls_(21891299014).jpg)

Fitzroy Falls drops nearly 100 metres over sandstone cliffs into the Yarrunga Valley. It's about 58 minutes' drive (57.5 km) from Kiama Ridge Waters, at the Fitzroy Falls Visitor Centre, 1301 Nowra Road, Fitzroy Falls.

This is the easiest big waterfall view in the region. An elevated boardwalk runs along the creek to a platform at the escarpment edge, just 150 metres from the visitor centre, with step-free access. The visitor centre has accessible toilets, a parent and carer change room and accessible parking, and it's open 9am to 4pm daily (closed Christmas Day).

For a longer walk, the West Rim walking track is 3.5 km return, 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes, Grade 3, following the escarpment edge to Renown lookout. Parking at Fitzroy Falls costs $4 per vehicle per day, paid at machines that take cash and cards.

### Fitzroy Falls lookout

## Leave Gerringong Falls to experienced bushwalkers

Photo: Martin Kraft, [CC BY-SA 3.0](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MK-02304_Gerringong_Falls.jpg)

Gerringong Falls is in Budderoo National Park near Carrington Falls and Kangaroo Valley. It's not a quick stop. The only way in is the Hersey trail, which NPWS lists as a challenging 17.6 km return walk through exposed heathland to the top of the falls, for experienced bushwalkers only.

The trail is an unmarked fire trail, mobile reception is limited, and emergency access is difficult. NPWS recommends carrying a personal locator beacon and leaving a trip intention form with an emergency contact. Access to the base of Gerringong Falls has been prohibited since December 2023 because of loose rocks and steep, unstable ground, and there's no approved track down.

If you want a waterfall without a full day in the bush, NPWS points you to Minnamurra Falls or Carrington Falls instead.

### Gerringong Falls

Budderoo National Park, near Carrington Falls

Reached by the Hersey trail, 17.6 km return, experienced bushwalkers only. Base permanently closed.

## Check NPWS alerts before you go

Budderoo, Macquarie Pass and Morton national parks are always open, but NPWS can close them in poor weather or high fire danger. Track closures, pest control programs and car park limits are posted on each park page, so check the [NPWS alerts](https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/walking-tracks/minnamurra-falls-walk/local-alerts) on the morning you drive up.

Mobile reception is patchy on the escarpment. NPWS suggests the Emergency Plus app, and the National Parks Contact Centre is on 1300 072 757, 7am to 7pm daily. Bring water, a hat, sunscreen and sturdy shoes. The falls run hardest after rain, which is also when tracks are slippery.

## Plan a waterfall day from Kiama Ridge Waters

Photo: Ymblanter, [CC BY-SA 4.0](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Budderoo_NP_Kangaroo_River_above_Carrington_Falls_seen_from_the_trail.jpg)

Destination Kiama's Waterfall Wondering drive links the falls into one loop. Head up through Jamberoo to Minnamurra Falls first, while the car park has space, then climb Jamberoo Mountain Road to Carrington Falls and Nellies Glen for lunch. Continue to Fitzroy Falls, then come down through Kangaroo Valley to Berry and back along the coast.

Belmore Falls and the Cascades suit a second day, or swap them in if Minnamurra is busy. Pack a picnic in [Jamberoo](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/towns/jamberoo/) on the way up, and see our [day trips from Kiama](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/towns/day-trips-from-kiama/) for [Berry](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/towns/berry-day-trip/) and the rest of the drive home.

Kiama Ridge Waters puts the escarpment on your doorstep, which makes it an easy base for [a family holiday](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/stay/families/) or [a weekend away](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/stay/weekends/). Every apartment sleeps six, with a full kitchen, a laundry for muddy gear and a garage for two cars. If the dog is coming, our [pet-friendly apartments](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/stay/pet-friendly/) work well, but pets aren't allowed in the national parks.

### Staying at Kiama Ridge Waters

Minnamurra Falls is about 25 minutes' drive from Kiama Ridge Waters, and Carrington, Belmore and Fitzroy Falls are 40 to 60 minutes away. Kiama Ridge Waters offers three-bedroom apartments at 2 Surfleet Place, Kiama, each sleeping six with parking for two cars.

## Quick answers

**What is the closest waterfall to Kiama?**

Minnamurra Falls in Budderoo National Park is the closest, about 25 minutes' drive (18 km) from Kiama Ridge Waters through Jamberoo. The falls walk is 4.2 km return from the Minnamurra Rainforest Centre, takes 1 to 2 hours and is Grade 4. Entry is $12 per vehicle per day.

**Can you swim at Minnamurra Falls?**

No. NPWS says there is no river access at Minnamurra Rainforest, to protect water quality, and asks walkers to stay on the boardwalk and paved tracks. You can see the lower and upper falls from viewing platforms on the 4.2 km return falls walk instead.

**How long is the walk to Carrington Falls?**

The Carrington Falls walking track is a 0.6 km loop that takes 30 to 45 minutes, graded 3 by NPWS. It starts at the Carrington Falls picnic area and passes the Falls View and Valley View lookouts, with many steps and a steep metal stairway.

**Can you walk to the bottom of Belmore Falls?**

No. NPWS has permanently closed all access to the base of Belmore Falls because of the risk of falling from the cliff edge. The closure includes the top of the falls. Walk the 1.8 km return Belmore Falls track from Hindmarsh lookout instead and view the falls from the lookouts.

**Do you have to pay to visit waterfalls near Kiama?**

Some charge park fees. Minnamurra Rainforest costs $12 per vehicle per day and Fitzroy Falls costs $4 per vehicle per day. NPWS lists no fee at Carrington Falls, as Budderoo fees apply in the Minnamurra area only. Fees change, so check NPWS before you go.

**Can I take my dog to the waterfalls near Kiama?**

Generally no. Pets aren't permitted at Minnamurra Rainforest, and a 1080 fox baiting program covers Carrington Falls, the Budderoo Plateau and Barren Grounds until January 2027. Dogs aren't allowed there. Leave them at your pet-friendly apartment while you explore the national parks.

**Which waterfall near Kiama has wheelchair access?**

Fitzroy Falls is the one to choose. NPWS describes step-free access along the elevated boardwalk from the Fitzroy Falls Visitor Centre to the lookout, about 150 metres away, plus accessible toilets and parking. The Minnamurra, Carrington and Cascades waterfall walks have no wheelchair access.
