Middle and Lower Sylvia Falls

Today, on the increasingly poorly-named Waterfall Wednesday, we continue down into the Valley of the Waters, a stream slicing through Australia’s eastern escarpment between Katoomba and Leura in the Blue Mountains.

A few steps downstream from the gorgeous Sylvia Falls (featured last week, go look at my post if you haven’t seen it) are two further waterfalls. I’m uncertain of their names, so let’s call them Middle Sylvia Falls and Lower Sylvia Falls. Whatever they’re called (and I’d really appreciate knowing), they’re quite beautiful and complement the two falls we’ve already seen on our journey.

Middle Sylvia Falls is a small cascade just above where the track crosses the stream, and Lower Sylvia Falls is, well, just below. On one of the days I went the light was perfect and the stream luminescent, making for great photos. Enjoy the richness of rock, water and leaf.
