Speaking of shadows, we visited this waterfall twice in the same day (in the morning and in the late afternoon). And as you can see from our photos, there's quite a bit of shadows in them. So if you want to optimize your photo ops, then I reckon the best lighting will be probably around midday.

In addition to Tolmer Falls, there's also attractive views out beyond the escarpment towards the jungle below as you look away from the waterfall. Given the sheer concentration of vegetation only broken by a few escarpments rising from the biomass, you really get the sense that Nature has been allowed to thrive here.

Julie and I walked a loop trail that goes upstream from the main falls where there are more cascades and swimming holes. Unfortunately, a large section of the walk that also encompasses a natural bridge (which we were really keen on seeing) was closed in order to protect some rare bat species (either Orange Horseshoe Bats or Ghost Bats) who make this protected area their home.
