About Wollomombi Falls
Wollomombi Falls is a major waterfall in Oxley Wild Rivers National Park near Wollomombi, about 40 kilometres east of Armidale in New South Wales. Dropping about 220 metres into the deep Wollomombi Gorge, it is among Australia's highest waterfalls. The falls are most spectacular after rain and are viewed from developed lookouts alongside nearby Chandler Falls within the World Heritage-listed Gondwana Rainforests area.
