The Kangaroo River begins on a narrow isthmus of the Illawarra escarpment before it plunges hundreds of feet over Carrington Falls into Kangaroo Valley.

On an overcast Saturday on the coast, nothing seems more perfect than being in the mist and rain on the escarpment, where streams pass through still rainforests, before rushing towards the roar of cascades and vertiginous falls.

Walking in the cool waters before the precipice, soothes my feet and aching heart.

Dark waters

Quiet pool with blossoms

Cascade and mist

Towards the precipice
