Carrington Falls

Carrington Falls is a dramatic plunge waterfall on the Kangaroo River in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, situated within Budderoo National Park.

The Kangaroo River drops from the western escarpment of the Budderoo Plateau, falling somewhere between 90 and 160 metres down a sheer rock face into the valley below.

It ranks among the most visited waterfalls in the NSW Southern Tablelands and typically maintains a strong flow year-round, intensifying after heavy rain.

The falls are accessed via the short Carrington Falls Walking Track, which departs from a picnic area and leads to multiple signed lookouts along the canyon rim.

A main lookout offers a full-height view of the falls, while the Valley View lookout provides a closer perspective from the top of the drop. A nearby stretch of the Kangaroo River above the falls is also a popular swimming spot.
