Newtown Falls is another Beechworth waterfall attraction that we stumbled upon as we headed out of New South Wales and towards Melbourne.
I have noticed in some literature that the falls was also called Newton Falls, but I'm not sure if this was a typo or not. This roadside waterfall is particularly picturesque as you can photograph it with the Newtown Bridge serving as its backdrop.
As you can see from the photo above, the falls had some decent flow despite the drought that was affecting the Murray River District (we were there in November 2006). Still, I reckon this waterfall would be even more impressive if it had been subject to more normal rainfall conditions.
Directions: The falls is located just downstream from the Newtown Bridge in the township of Beechworth. For directions to Beechworth, see the Woolshed Falls page.
The view you see in the photo above was taken from Pritchard St and Gorge Rd. Pritchard St is just south of the Newtown Bridge where Ford St (the main road going through town and across the bridge) becomes Bridge St.

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]
