Hindmarsh Falls is a cascading waterfall tumbling about a height of between 20m to 25m. Like most of the other waterfalls we tried to see during our drought-stricken November 2006 trip, this one was trickling and disappointing (see the falls in full flow here). I do hope to return to this area on a future trip to Australia - provided this apparent climate change isn't permanent (or they haven't moved the city of Adelaide as I've heard being joked about while listening to Triple J)!The falls is only minutes away from the town of Victor Harbor (or Victor Harbour) on the southern Fleurieu Peninsula and is therefore a pretty popular waterfall - when it's flowing, of course. From the car park, there's a well-developed (i.e. concrete) walking path down to an overlook. It looked like there used to be access further down towards the base of the falls, but now there is a fence preventing access beyond the overlook. I'm guessing the land became unstable or something so the top down view will have to do. Directions: From Victor Harbour, we headed north on Adelaide Road (A13) turning left onto Hindmarsh Valley Rd. Hindmarsh Valley Rd becomes Hindmarsh Tiers Rd and eventually junctions with Waterfall Rd to the left. The car park for Hindmarsh Falls is here.
