Ralphs Falls
 Ralphs Falls plunges some 100m off a cliff and is sometimes accompanied by a companion cascade tumbling alongside it. When it's flowing, it is amongst Tasmania's tallest waterfalls. It is also nearby another tall waterfall in St Columba Falls so it's well worth the trip to see them both. But as I alluded to earlier, the falls is tall and slender suggesting that it has a limited drainage. Thus, you'll want to be here in late winter or early spring if you want to see this waterfall at its best as well as increasing your odds at seeing its companion waterfall as well. Even though I was here in mid-spring, the drought also reduced the rainfall totals in Tassie so I didn't see the companion waterfall and the main falls itself looked like it wouldn't last another month or so of dry weather. At the same lookout as the falls is Norm's Lookout. Here, you can get expansive views of the valley below. So this is yet another reason to check this place out.
