About Belmore Falls Reserve

 

Belmore Falls Reserve is located in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, within the greater Morton National Park region. The reserve protects the area around Belmore Falls, which cascades down a height of approximately 77 meters in three distinct drops. The falls drop into the green valley of the Kangaroo Valley below, providing spectacular views from several lookout platforms. The geography of the reserve is characterized by steep cliffs, sandstone plateaus, and forested gorges, composed primarily of subtropical rainforest and eucalypt woodlands. This mix of habitats supports diverse flora and fauna, including numerous bird species, wallabies, and native reptiles. Belmore Falls Reserve is part of the traditional lands of the Yuin people, and the area holds cultural significance for the local Indigenous communities. Visitors can explore walking tracks that lead to different viewpoints of the falls and surrounding landscape, which deliver peaceful nature experiences and photography opportunities. The reserve's proximity to the Kangaroo Valley and the Southern Highlands makes it a popular day-trip destination for hiking, picnicking, and sightseeing. Its relative ease of access combined with natural beauty provides an appealing escape for outdoor enthusiasts seeking both adventure and relaxation in a pristine environment.
