1. Hey that's really cool +Gerard Blacklock :))​What a beautiful spot! I've only ever driven past Stanwell Tops…darn missed this! Kinda interesting seeing the scale. .almost looks like you've been miniaturized 😀

2. Nice waterfall Gerald !

3. Thanks +Robert Johnstone

4. Thanks +Kitten KaboodleInc , its not that well known and the lower falls is probably less known and given the accessibility to the spot means its even less well known, perfect for me 🙂
   I do look a bit dinky there now that you mention it 🙁

5. Very Beautiful :-))

6. How nice! Great selfie…. this place is so beautiful and full of wonderful details that takes the breath away! You are very very lucky 🙂 Thank you for sharing this precious moment with us +Gerard Blacklock

7. Lovely, you should have gone up closer, the Man born to be hanged need never fear water.

8. +Gerard Blacklock ah I see re location. Well I think it's only cos people probably don't realize you really are tall!

9. Embracing the nature, wonderful.

10. +Gerard Blacklock ….like to get a human in there of sorts…lol… to give dimensions….no?

11. Wow, that sure is a stunning location!! 🙂 Great selfie +Gerard Blacklock!!

12. Beautiful spot and photo… I would like to have seen a time lapse of you getting in there and then out again. A few carefull footsteps I expect!

13. Thankyou +linda sunshyne and +Sean Andre Diomampo

14. Thankyou very much +Patrizia Melis

15. +Ben Guiry
    knowing my luck i might think that but really it might be the other 😉

16. No problem +Gerard Blacklock.

17. +Kitten KaboodleInc
    , i'll get +Rodney Campbell to stand next to me next time then 😉

18. +mary g Cadigan , i'll bring my tape mesure next time 😉 thankyou

19. Thankyou +Elizabeth Testone

    , funny you say that, i do have one since i did the lazy mans selfie and just had the shutter go off every 20 seconds to give me time to get to the spot, consequently i have a series of images (some alittle blurry) of me getting there… and yes very careful steps

21. Vertical zoom crop 🙂
    Personally I liked the tall gangly dude doing the strange crab like shuffle steps 🙂
    I've not looked at my shots yet but I probably have some of you standing up there (looking from down the bottom where I was) 🙂

22. +Rodney Campbell I'd pay money to see that shuffle 😉

23. Is it hard to get to this bottom area +Gerard Blacklock? I've peered over the edge before and it looks tricky.

24. Hmmm – pay per view +Kitten KaboodleInc… could work +Gerard Blacklock 🙂 Next time I'll have to video it as well as photograph it 🙂

25. +Rodney Campbell
    my ass is still here due to that crab shuffle

26. +Kitten KaboodleInc
    wait until you see the time lapse 😉

27. It's not too bad +Grant Galbraith – the only tricky bit is a couple metre drop with this dodgy looking rope attached to a "tree" with a trunk thinner than your wrist and the sliperier than ice rocks :).
    The bonus is there's actually two separate falls down there to shoot (which I only noticed after we'd been down there for a bit and I went exploring) – this was the second one.

28. hey +Grant Galbraith
    see my other post about it where you asked about access – but once you get to the base of the main falls it is a pretty simple exercise to get around to this set of falls. Note, if there was alot of rain, getting across the main falls could be hard. If your really keen i'll shoot you a message next time I go there, I do want to revisit it at a later date..

29. Oh oops, sorry +Gerard Blacklock. Missed the other reply. Yeah, I'd love to go there again some day. Just let me know 🙂

30. +Grant Galbraith
    np.
    Next time I head down there i'll let you know, I am sure +Rodney Campbell would be up for a revisit too.
    After looking at +O. Sydney images from his visit there is also some nice little falls up top too.

31. actually +John Hunt has some nice images of the upper falls too.

32. Have you got your Christmas camera Gerard on this shoot. I have John in a circle but I have not seen any of his photos yet !

33. So thats what I missed 😢 It's very beautiful! I wish I had been brave enough to tackle that rope, but I was way out of my comfort zone!! I'm tooo much of a city girl!! I need to discover my sense of adventure!!

34. +Robert Johnstone
    🙂 just do a search for 'kellys falls' and it should come up 🙂
    PS always got Christmas shoes on 🙂

35. +Deb Mooney
    oddly enough there may well be a way around that rope section, there was a bit of a path leading further around which could be easier. Personally I would rather not climb dodgy ropes tided to saplings in mud 🙂

36. I forgot about the camera so I changed my comment. All jokes aside you are great at capturing images with your camera thanks for sharing them cobber 🙂

37. +Gerard Blacklock +Grant Galbraith there is, I haven't done it justice. I must go back with a shiny Nikkor 20mm as there's a gorgeous little L shape green wall that needs another look at in that upper section.
    BTW I found a detour to the rope and rock face descent

38. That's a seriously cool location +Gerard Blacklock​! Great selfie mate! It sure does look super slippery! Those falls do make you look small! +Rodney Campbell​ assures me he gets neck strain from looking up when talking to you so I know it's an optical illusion of sorts! 😉

39. Detours to rock faces and ropes sound like a good plan +O. Sydney

40. Magnificent selfie!

41. +Robert Johnstone
    cheers mate

42. +O. Sydney and +Grant Galbraith thats good news about the alternate route down, that means +Deb Mooney can make it next time 😉

43. +Tom Testone
    lol, thanks Tom.

44. Thankyou +mariana alexandru

45. +Gerard Blacklock you're welcome mate! 😀

46. +Gerard Blacklock +Grant Galbraith the alternate way is just 50-80 meters further along the ridge path, its not a a casual stroll down but you def don't need ropes and the risk. A short scramble with more foot and hand holds makes it a lot less nervy

47. Looking tfrom he top of the falls to the bottom, would that way be to the left or the right +O. Sydney?

48. +Grant Galbraith right. Southern track.

49. +O. Sydney thanks mate. Will take that route next time.

50. +Grant Galbraith look for the stone seat on the right hand side of the track. This marks the first track down to the falls via rope.
