Wollomombi Falls Wollomombi Falls is said to be one of Australia's taller waterfalls at around 220m. 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. This is just my theory, but perhaps they're talking about the meeting of both Chandler Falls and Wollomombi Falls? We've got one bit of advice if you're planning to visit the falls.
What happens if you do? Well, as you can see from the photos on this page, you'll be looking directly against the sun (boy do I regret not going there the afternoon of the day before when we had the chance). And that kind of makes it a bit difficult to view the falls let alone photograph it. Another thing worth noting about this falls is that it didn't seem to be flowing very well. Even though other drainages that aren't that far way (geographically speaking) such as in the Oxley Wild Rivers National Park seemed to have much better flow, this waterfall seemed to have suffered. I'm not sure if the drainages feeding the falls just so happened to be unlucky in their allocation of rainfall or if there's agriculture robbing its flow of water. Regardless of what it was, it just seemed like our timing was off all around (see the falls under much better conditions here).
