About

About Mac Mac Falls

Mac Mac Falls owes its distinctive twin appearance to nineteenth-century gold miners who used dynamite to divert the river in search of gold, splitting a single fall into two.

A viewing platform at the top of the gorge offers panoramic views of the 65-metre drop. Curio stalls are located next to the viewing area.
