Beautiful hidden places in NSW
Empress Falls
Where? Wentworth Falls, Blue Mountains.
This stunning waterfall is accessed via a very steep walking track from the town of Wentworth Falls. But the walk is worth it, as the waterfall tumbles down a sandstone cliff face into a temptingly colourful pool. You can go canyoning in nearby Empress Canyon, too, with the abseil down Empress Falls being the mighty climax.
