Kisdon Force Fall

Kisdon Force in August 2006 after a night of rain.

Kisdon Force is a series of waterfalls on the River Swale in Swaledale, England. The falls are situated at grid reference within the Yorkshire Dales National Park in the county of North Yorkshire, 500 metres downstream from the small hamlet of Keld.

Kisdon Force is one of several waterfalls on the Swale in the Keld area, the others being East Gill Force, Catrake Force and Wain Wath Force. All occur where the river cuts a gorge through the Carboniferous limestone between the hills of Kisdon and Rogan's Seat. The falls in this area are termed forces after the Norse word fors or foss, which means "waterfall". Both upper and lower Kisdon Force can be negotiated by canoeists, although a high degree of skill and experience is needed. The upper falls are rated Grade IV, while the lower falls are rated more difficult at Grade v.

The falls drop 10 meters (33 ft) over two cascades and are surrounded by Kisdon Force Woods, a Site of Special Scientific Interest covering an area of 38 hectares, which consists of mixed broad-leaved woodland with ash, wych elm and rowan trees dominating. In the springtime Primula vulgaris grows profusely in the area. The falls can be easily visited by a riverside path from Keld; however, care should be taken, as the stones around the falls are often wet and slippery. Visitor numbers to the falls are swelled by walkers along the Pennine Way, a long-distance footpath that passes the falls on its way north.

Fitzroy Falls

Fitzroy Falls is a locality in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia, in Wingecarribee Shire. It was previously known as Yarrunga but was renamed after the 81-metre waterfall located there. At the 2006 census, Fitzroy Falls had a population of 688 people.

First discovered in the early 19th century by Charles Throsby, Fitzroy Falls (the waterfall, in Morton National Park), was named after the New South Wales governor Sir Charles Fitzroy during his visit to the beautiful area in the 1850s. While a town was planned for the area in the 1860s, little development occurred. With the advent of motor vehicles, Fitzroy Falls became, and still remains, a popular stopping point for tourists travelling towards the Highlands. Substantial parking and catering facilities have been provided, together with pathways and boardwalks which enable able-bodied visitors to view the falls and other spectacular natural features.

Josephine Falls

Josephine Falls are located at the foot of the southern face of Mount Bartle Frere in the Wooroonooran National Park, in Queensland, Australia. The falls are a popular recreation site among locals as the water flows over a large rock to form a natural waterslide.

Josephine Falls are located on Josephine Creek, a tributary of the Russell River.

Accessed by sealed road just off the Bruce Highway between Babinda and Innisfail. In order to arrive at Josephine Falls, one must turn left just south of Miriwinni if coming from Innisfail or right if coming from Cairns.

If visiting, listen to the locals - the natural rock slide can be dangerous for those unused to the area and there is occasional flash flooding - no warning, just a sudden increase in the water volume.

Minyon Falls

Minyon Falls is a waterfall in the Nightcap National Park, New South Wales, Australia. Standing at over 100 metres (330 ft) high, this waterfall is a popular visitor attraction and is located within easy reach of the nearby town of Byron Bay.

The falls themselves are the result of the water of Repentance Creek flowing over the huge rhyolite cliffs which were once part of the Tweed Volcano. The water flow eroded the basalt away to create the 100-metre waterfall. The falls lie within the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Site.

Mac-Mac Falls

The Mac-Mac Falls are located on the Mac-Mac River, some 13 km from Sabie on the R532 road towards Graskop in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa.

The 65 m high Mac-Mac Falls were declared a National Monument on the 18th of February 1993 are the only falls in South Africa linked to the historic South African gold rush of the 19th century.

The Mac Mac Falls are named after the old mining camp of Mac Mac, so named because of the large number of miners of Scottish descent that came seeking their fortune. The twin 56 m falls which can be seen today were originally one. Eager to get to the promised gold, miners tried to divert the flow with the help of dynamite and succeeded in creating a second fall. Close by are the Mac Mac Pools, naturally formed swimming pools.
