Wollomombi Falls Wollomombi Falls is one of Australia's taller waterfalls at around 220m. Given this statistic, there is some debate and discussion about whether this is the tallest single-drop waterfall in the country. Regardless of whether or not it is, the falls can be viewed from a handful of viewpoints across the Wollomombi Gorge. The name of the falls is derived from an aboriginal word roughly meaning "the meeting of the waters." For that reason, you might notice a neighboring cascade to its right. This is Chandler Falls. One bit of advice if you're planning to visit the falls. Don't come in the morning! You'll be looking directly against the sun (as we were; boy do I regret not going there the afternoon of the day before), which kind of makes it a bit difficult to view the falls let alone photograph it. The falls is accessed off a well-signed turnoff about 40km east of Armidale along the so-called Waterfall Way. Tell us about your experience with this waterfall.
