Dangar Falls

The Dangar Falls is a cascade waterfall located across the Bielsdown River about 1.2 km (0.7 mi) north of Dorrigo in the New England region of New South Wales, Australia.[1] The falls are small, picturesque, and are a popular photographic subject.[2] For a short time after rain they are quite spectacular.[3] There is an attractive picnic spot which offers excellent views. It is possible to climb down the banks and walk along the river below the water falls.
