Apsley Falls NSW Australia 2012
Apsley Falls consists of 2 drops and they are located about 20 km east of Walcha, off Oxley Highway. A part of the Oxley Rivers National Park.
The first drop, which you see in this short video, is 65 meters and when it was filmed, the waterfall wasn't very heavy and is probably related to a pretty dry period that we have had. Also the second drop is suppose to be at the bottom of the gorge you see on the pictures in the end, but as per the dry period it's not running.
Apsley Falls & Gorge
Apsley Falls are on the Apsley River on the Northern Tablelands, New South Wales, Australia. The falls are located about 20 kilometres (12 miles) east of Walcha, and 1 kilometre off the Oxley Highway in a deep gorge, that is part of the Oxley Wild Rivers National Park. This area has some of the most remarkable scenery in Eastern Australia. The drop of the Falls is about 65 metres (213 ft), and they are an amazing sight in the wet season.

The Apsley Falls are two waterfalls on the Apsley River in the Northern Tablelands region of New South Wales, Australia. The falls are located about 20 kilometres (12 mi) east of Walcha, and 1 kilometre off the Oxley Highway in a deep gorge, that is part of the Oxley Wild Rivers National Park. They are the first falls in a succession of dramatic drops in an area that has some of the most remarkable scenery in Eastern Australia. The first drop of the falls is about 65 metres (213 ft) in depth, and the second, which is about 800 metres (2,625 ft) further on, plummets 58 metres (190 ft) metres to the bottom of the gorge.
Aboriginal people tell the story of how the Rainbow Serpent created the gorge at Apsley Falls in the Dreamtime. The Rainbow Serpent is said to travel underground from the base of the falls to reappear 20 km upstream at the Mill Hole on the Apsley River in Walcha. The site is now marked at the Mill Hole by the Rainbow Serpent mosaic made with the help of the local Aboriginal community.
Apart from Aboriginal significance of the area as a meeting place, John Oxley passed by the falls on 13 September 1818 and he named them the Bathurst Falls. He described it as “one of the most magnificent waterfalls we have seen”.
Oxley named the Apsley River and wrote in his journal that he was lost in astonishment at the sight of this wonderful natural sublimity.
In 1902 three men, Ted Baker, Jim McMillan and Wattie Joiner built the wooden stairway that zigzagged its way from the top of the gorge to the water's edge. All timber used in this dangerous and mammoth task was hand dressed with an axe and adze by this trio. The original stairway was used until 1932, when it was declared unsafe and partly demolished.
Quite some time after parts of this stairway rotted and became dangerous, the Walcha Lions Club set about the huge task of erecting a steel staircase and viewing platform to halfway down the gorge. One of the Lions, Lindsay McMillan (son of the above Jim McMillan), designed the steel structure, lookout and platform. All materials were supplied by the Walcha Shire Council and it took the Lions Club members 1,745 hours to complete the job during 1961. The Lions were internationally, and justly, recognised for their tremendous contribution here. The official opening of the scenic stairway was on 14 October 1961 by the state member for Armidale, Davis Hughes.
Since the National Parks and Wildlife Service took over they have constructed additional lookouts and walkways to view and photograph this magnificent gorge and the two falls. There are several short walks that can be taken from the car parks and these are highlighted in the information shelter erected in the area near the toilet facilities.
The main falls and gorge can be easily viewed from several lookouts which are readily accessed via stairs from the car park.
in addition the Oxley Walk is a 2.7 km, 1½ hours walk on a sealed walkway, which crosses the river via a footbridge, then continues around the northern side of the gorge. A further lookout offers fine views of the main falls (650 m) and the track continues past another three lookouts, where one can view a second waterfall and the dramatic cliffs of the chasm. This bridge was washed away in a flood on 28 December 2009, but the replacement was opened in June 2012.
Good facilities are available for caravan or tent campers, including fire wood, toilets, interpretive information, hardened walking tracks, access for disabled people, ten viewing platforms, Aboriginal history, flora and fauna. A small camping fee applies. Dogs and other domestic pets are not allowed.

Apsley Falls and Tia Falls - New South Wales Hiking
A couple of walks I combined into one video, Apsley Falls and Tia Falls are a pair of spectacular waterfalls in the Oxley Wild Rivers National Park in Northern New South Wales. Both walks were fairly short and easy, and the Apsley one in particular encompassed a number of great views into the gorge and waterfalls. The waterflow was very low at both falls, but it was still satisfactory enough, especially considering Apsley Falls often runs completely dry.
