Discover more about Adelina Falls

Adelina Falls, a highlight of the South Lawson Waterfall Circuit, is located near Lawson in the Blue Mountains, New South Wales. The falls were named after Adelaide Mary Wilson, daughter of Henry Wilson, the licensee of the Blue Mountain Inn in Lawson. For a period, it was known as Livingstone Falls in the 1870s, before reverting to its original name by the 1890s. The waterfall is easily accessible via a short, well-maintained track from Honour Avenue, making it a popular destination for families and nature enthusiasts. The 3km South Lawson Waterfall Circuit encompasses Adelina, Junction, Federal, and Cataract Falls, each offering unique scenery. The falls cascade approximately 15 meters into a shallow, rocky pool surrounded by ferns and tall trees, creating a serene rainforest setting. The best time to visit is after rainfall, when the falls are at their most impressive. Visitors can enjoy photography and hiking around the falls. The area is rich in history, with the walking tracks dating back to the late 1800s when local towns competed to attract tourists with scenic attractions.
