The Rest Area just outside Ebor has a hidden beauty. Situated on the border of the Guy Fawkes River National Park just outside Ebor are the Ebor Falls. These falls are amazing and some of the most spectacular falls I have seen in Australia thus far. Photos and videos never do the scenery justice but here are a few snaps.
The falls were in two sections, the upper and lower falls. If you head to the lookout at the upper falls you can see the water tumbling over a drop of 30m and then another drop of 30m immediately after. The falls drop over the full width of the Guy Fawkes River and so are sensational when there has been a lot of rain. We were in luck as the falls were flowing the result of recent downpours in the area. There is a walkway of 600m along the top of the enscarpment which looks over the river valley below. Along the entire walk (which is all bitumen and relatively easy) you can hear the thunderous sound of the falls with many lookouts of the lower falls along the path. At the end of the walk is the best lookout. You can see the upper and lower falls combined which is an awesome sight. The lower falls, possibly more spectacular than the upper falls, drops about 30m also. When you combine both falls in one you have a combination of three sets of falls over about 500m dropping an amazing 100m. You really have to come and visit this spot, it is easy to find, has easy vehicle access and is an easy walk around the falls. You can even drive between the upper and lower falls if you can’t handle the 600m walk! There are picturesque picnic areas here, toilets and wood BBQ’s.
