Waterfalls of New South Wales
 In NSW's southern regions, the climate is primarily temperate so most of its rains occur in the winter months (June through August). The waterfalls plunging off the cliffs of the Blue Mountains (such as Wentworth Falls and Katoomba Falls) require a good bit of luck and timing to see due to their small drainages. But if you're fortunate to see them work, they are some of the most memorable waterfalls in some of the most striking backdrops in the country. Meanwhile, there are many temperate rainforests and mountains away from the developed areas that yield waterfalls in a combination of lush settings and deep canyons. Such waterfalls include Fitzroy Falls, Carrington Falls, and Belmore Falls. The furthest south regions of NSW is backed by the Australian Alps, which includes Mt Kosciuszko - the highest mountain in the state. Situated near Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), many locals come here for skiing. But, you can find waterfalls fed by its melting snow within its alpine forests. Some of the waterfalls that come to mind here is Tuross Falls and Paddy's River Falls. Going in the other direction (north of Sydney), even taller, more spectacular waterfalls await. Among the waterfalls in this part of the state include those on the so-called Waterfalls Way (e.g. Apsley Falls, Tia Falls, Ebor Falls, and Wollomombi Falls among others) as well as waterfalls with a bit of history associated with them like Protestor's Falls.
