Fitzroy Falls

A settlement called Fitzroy Falls may be found in the Wingecarribee Shire of New South Wales, Australia's Southern Highlands. Originally called Yarrunga, the area now goes by its 81-meter (266-foot) waterfall.

The native Wodi Wodi people were aware of the waterfall. Charles Throsby, who arrived in the early 19th century, was the first European to observe it. The waterfall in Morton National Park was given Sir Charles Fitzroy's name in honor of him because he visited the region in 1850 and was located close to Yarrunga Creek's head.

Although a town was envisioned for the area in the 1860s, little progress was made. Fitzroy Falls became and still is a well-liked rest stop for travelers heading to the Southern Highlands after the invention of the automobile. Along with extensive parking and dining options, accessible tourists can observe the falls and other natural attractions from pathways and boardwalks.

Fitzroy Falls to Kangaroo Valley is a problematic 30-kilometer cycling path that connects the falls with the settlement of Kangaroo Valley, which is tucked away in one of Australia's most picturesque and remote valleys. You'll get a close-up look at breathtaking scenery and wallabies, kangaroos, and wildlife.
