Tia Falls

Tia Falls


Tia Falls (pronounced "TYE-uh" and not "TEE-uh" like Spanish for auntie) is one of several impressive waterfalls in the Oxley Wild Rivers Gorge system.

I couldn't find any information on its height, but I'd imagine it's somewhere around 100m or more as it cascades steeply into the gorge and rainforest below. We think the best viewpoint of the falls (right across the gorge) is a bit distant and of the look-but-don't-touch variety (i.e. you don't get close enough to feel its mist), but it's a short 1.5km return walk from the car park. A little further from the waterfall lookout platform, there's a view (albeit against the sun when we were there in the morning) of more gorges and seemingly untouched lands where Nature has been allowed to thrive.

Signs here indicate that there is also a longer 5km walk around the other side of the gorge over the top of the falls and out to the Tiara Lookout taking in more dramatic high plateau scenery (which we didn't do).

Directions: Access to the car park is via a 7km unsealed spur road off the Oxley Highway (Hwy 34) some 37km southeast of Walcha. From Port Macquarie, it's about a 2-hour drive (150km).

Pronounced "tyre" these falls are but one of a multitude that dispense their waters into the Oxley Wild Rivers National Park and ultimately into the Macleay ...

I was here recently after heavy rain and the falls were thundering.
