Waratah Falls Waratah Falls is a gorgeous wishbone-shaped waterfall tumbling within the mining town of Waratah. We were most pleasantly surprised to see the volume of this waterfall considering the drier-than-normal conditions afflicting much of the rest of the northern parts of Tasmania. But I suspect the healthy flow of the falls has to do with a little bit of flow regulation thanks to a water wheel mill upstream as well as a lake, which I reckon must be man made. Waratah is 63km southwest of Burnie and 53km southeast of Cradle Valley.
