Waterfall Safety and Common Sense

Daggs Falls was the second of the so-called “Killarney Falls” along the Spring Creek Road (aka the Falls Drive) near the rural town of Killarney.

Unlike the other two of the Killarney Falls (Queen Mary Falls and Browns Falls, this was the easiest one to see because it didn’t require a hike.

Indeed, this was a true roadside waterfall with an established lookout peering right across and down towards where Spring Creek made its dramatic 38m drop.

Each time that we’ve visited this waterfall (once in May 2008 pictured above and another in July 2022), we were looking against the late morning or midday sun, which had casted shadows contrasting the bright rocks and stream..

That suggests to me that if you really want to see this place in better light on a sunny day, then you’ll want to come later in the afternoon to eliminate most of those shadows.

Under such conditions, my best photos came when clouds momentarily blocked the sun for some more even lighting.

Anyways, it really shouldn’t take more than 15 minutes to fully appreciate the Daggs Falls from the overlook, but I don’t think there’s a way to safely reach the bottom.
