Wentworth Falls
105km from Sydney

A ‘weatherboard hut’ was established here in 1814 by road builder William Cox, providing the region with its first name; which was changed to ‘Jamison’s Valley’ in 1815 by Governor Macquarie; and finally changed to Wentworth Falls in 1879.

In 1826 an inn was built at Pitt Park and was called ‘The Bathurst Traveller’ before being renamed the ‘Weatherboard Inn’. One of its many famous visitors was Charles Darwin.

Before you reach the town, for a few unforgettable experiences turn left at the top of Bodington Hill, into Tableland Road.

Yester Road leads to the magnificently restored Yester Grange - a grand historic 20 acre estate with ancient parkland gardens, stunning views, Victorian house and fine antiques, now operating as a bridal and function centre.


Historic Yestergrange

A 15 minute drive from here brings you to McMahon’s Lookout providing a fabulous view of the back waters of Lake Burragorang.

One of the Mountains’ finest and most precious treasures is the Valley of the Waters Reserve which you enter from the end of Fletcher St. Here you will discover some of Australia’s most beautiful and pristine bushwalks and absolutely spectacular scenery, waterfalls and rainforest. The valley offers magnificent views, birdlife and plants.

Some of the Mountains’ finest bushwalks, including the popular Charles Darwin Walk are in this area, so allow plenty of time.

The picturesque Wentworth Falls Lake is an ideal family picnic and BBQ area, with superb and safe childrens’ play equipment. Heaps of ducks to feed.

Closer to the town - at the end of Falls Road you can share the same views and sensations as did the explorers, when you witness Wentworth Falls themselves, Queens Cascade, Empress, Sylvia, Flat Rock, Brittania, Red Rock and Vera Falls at the Reserve and at the Valley of the Waters.
