There are two sets of falls shown on tasmaps: Falls (-41.2889645, 146.0636210) and Delaneys Falls (-41.2863875, 146.0645916). TheList clearly identifies Preston Falls as per the first reference. Both theList and the tasmap clearly identify the other set as Delaneys Falls. So according to theList, Preston falls and Delaneys Falls are two separate falls - hence the Wiki List shows both. But others would say that the falls are called Upper Preston Falls and Preston or Delaney Falls.biggc wrote:is preston falls actually called delaneys falls
- excellent question. I concluded they were the same, but I'm not confident. That is why they are in the bottom list on the Wiki along with all the other unresolved issues. TheList shows Cleft Rock Falls but no grid reference. There is no Split Rock Falls on theList. The track on the map is called Split Rock Track, but there is no fall marked. I'd be pleased for any additional info that anyone can supply.biggc wrote:is cleft rock falls split rock falls
- can't help with that.biggc wrote:has anyone been to betts falls near sisters beach
I also only found two. I amended the Wiki list. Foolishly, I didn't have the GPS in my pocket on that walk so I didn't get co-ordinates.biggc wrote:is there 3 falls at lilydale cause i only found 2.
Violet, Coxs, Step, Dynamo, and Silver Falls are clearly shown on the map. Castra Falls on the List of Waterfalls is shown as per the co-ordinates on theList. This map (below) shows one unnamed set of falls. That makes seven, so can you tell me where the other one is?biggc wrote:On the map i have where the castra falls are there are 8 bars across the river i know three are called castra, silver and dynamo what are the names of the other 5

74 eh! I knew there were a few, but I hadn't tried counting them. 16 of these falls are on the list of named falls.biggc wrote: A section map called sophia has 74 waterfalls on them and most are unnamed. I will also have to invest in a gps any reccomendations?
scavenger wrote:Yep, it should be on the same map as Meander - as should Shower Cave Falls, which is a bit further down the same side loop as Split Rock. Though there are a fair few intersecting tracks up there. I seem to recall one that leads off up Ironstone Mountain . . .
Anyway, Split Rock Falls . . .
Yeah DA, the only reference to Cleft Rock Falls is theList. I haven't yet contacted them to ask.Devon Annie wrote:...but I've never heard of Cleft Rock Falls.
Yep John, which is the same result for Cleft Rock Falls. Split Rock Falls is not mentioned on theList.johnw wrote:Shower Cave Falls is listed as a feature when you search for it but on selection displays an error page: "The feature you selected does not have a spatial definition"
That's right.walkinTas wrote: Shower Cave Falls, Split Rock Falls are missing - I'm guessing they are on the little side track???
They are on the Bastion Creek along the track shown near the creek. This is a lovely and interesting walk as well.walkinTas wrote: Bastion Cascades are not shown - I'm guessing they're at the end of the track???
I have, and it nearly killed me - it was the first bushwalk I had done in years and was harder than I expected. I think it would be a bit easier now though. The scree slope was fairly long, and I was expecting an easier track out from the Meander Falls as it is such a well known, almost touristy, track. I was having a rest, drink and a bit of scroggin every 15 minutes in the end, just to make it out! Amazing how different tracks can be depending on your level of fitness.walkinTas wrote: The SR Track also crosses the rock scree and joins the MF Track closer to the falls - at the sign - but I haven't walked it.
walkinTas wrote:As you can see we are in the corners of four maps. There are obvious omissions. The Dixon Track and MF Track are mixed up.
Correct, according to Chapman's map, probably 100-200 metres in from either end of it respectively.walkinTas wrote:Shower Cave Falls, Split Rock Falls are missing - I'm guessing they are on the little side track???
I'd like to do the circuit at some point. Planning to come down in August to do some touring and day walks in the far NE and NW, but don't know if we'll visit Meander Valley area enroute as yet.walkinTas wrote:The SR Track also crosses the rock scree and joins the MF Track closer to the falls - at the sign - but I haven't walked it.
walkinTas wrote:And who knows about the Wood Maynard Loop? What is it? Where does it go? btw this sign had fallen over last time I visited.
Thanks for the picture. I updated the list as well, though I won't vouch for the accuracy of the co-ordinates.holleysguide wrote:...I am at loss how to paste a pic or update the waterfall list. Will work on that.
