Unexpected waterfall at Weerewa (Lake George), New South Wales.
With two East Coast Lows this month so far, we have had an unusual amount of rain for this time of year. Some of the creeks around Weereewa are flowing again, and I stumbled across an unexpected roaring waterfall in a hidden gorge. The sides of the ravine were wet and loose, but an adventure to the bottom was irresistable. It turned out to be a sanctuary for some moisture loving vegetation, otherwise surrounded by dry grassy woodlands above. The water was yellowish-brown due to the some of the yellowish soils around Weereewa. Too bad after the rains it will be reduced to a dry rock-face and sandy creek bed again soon.
I used a tripod, 2-second delay shutter release, and circular polariser to eliminate reflections on the water.
