Waterfalls in the rain

There has been heavy rain in eastern New South Wales in the past week, the Illawarra Escarpment is wet, the air is misty and the colours are rich.


The higher of the double drop Belmore Falls is about 100m. These are in the Morton National Park. 


The mist is good for the plants, from mosses to trees, that cling to the cliffs.


Glimpses are good.


Full views are good too, as here at the Carrington Falls in the Budderoo National Park.


The Carrington Falls continue in cataracts down the tree-lined gorge.


The ground was vibrating with the force of the water.


Mosses and ferns cling to the walls between the main steams.


And there are trees growing on the wall of the falls.
