Carrington Falls is a lovely 50m waterfall on the Kangaroo River in Budderoo National Park.
This was the first truly well-flowing major waterfall we saw on our November 2006 trip, which was right in the midst of a severe drought. Whether its flow can be attributed to a few consecutive days of rain despite the drought, or this waterfall simply has a decent enough drainage to weather the drought so far is still undetermined.
We took a short 25-minute loop walk that allowed us to view the waterfall from various angles. The view that I liked the best was the direct view, which is shown in the photo above. I wasn't sure if we could've also viewed the falls from the other side of the gorge, but we didn't try as the loop walk we did didn't go that far.
This is just one of a handful of impressive waterfalls in the Kiama District and is definitely worthwhile to visit. Nearby was also Gerringong Falls, but we didn't feel like risking it with our rental car to go on that detour.
Directions: The car park is about 24km from Jamberoo Village accessible via the Jamberoo Mountain Rd and a signed unsealed access road.

Going Cuckoo
Whoever penned the last sentence hadn't been there for some time. Signs on the most important intersection aren't apparent which cost me about 10 minutes, and another sign was overgrown with foxglove...[more]
