Thanks Osik, I've visited a handful of waterfalls in northern NSW, but not that one.

Still NSW:

Reminds me of the old tramway off the end of Highland Ave in Faulconbridge that runs down to A tributary of Linden Creek.

I've been down that one (from memory there is an old steam boiler down there?), but this isn't it.

Yes, this is the very steep skip incline at the end of it descending to a side creek off the Nattai River.
Which I've climbed several times but I doubt my dodgy knee would let me descend it.

Long way from there. Gets a lot narrower around the next bend.

Hard to imagine it's that far from Goochs. To me it looks like the short walk through canyon at the very top of Dumbano creek.
