Valley of a Thousand Waters
The Valley of a Thousand Waters (a wonderfully evocative name) is a circular hike that starts at Wentworth Falls and descends extremely steeply into the valley, through beautiful rainforest, and then crisscrosses rivers and streams and waterfalls as you follow the valley, before a gruelling steep climb back up. It's a stunning 5 hour walk, one of my favourites in Australia, and I will never grow tired of the amazing colours of the rocks.
Victoria Falls
Wow, what an undiscovered gem of a place this is. A steep 340 metre descent into the valley brings you to a beautiful set of cascades. Then down some more steps to the top of Victoria Falls with stunning views over the rainforest. Then some more descent to the base of the falls and a plethora of smaller waterfalls and eddies which are all extremely photogenic. I put my new ballhead tripod through its paces to get some different angles. And the best thing is there were almost no people at all on the trail, despite it being New Year's eve. It's right off the beaten track. I'll definitely be coming back here. It's also a great way to get down to the Blue Gum forrest, less steep than the way I took last year. All in all, a great find.

The 4th picture is fantastic. There is a spiral water on the rock. You have a special technic to use the lens or use the natural light to create a shine around water. Sometimes I guess you use the same resource when you take pictures from the people.
Your shots are amazing! Did you drag the family down and up again? Just stunning!
