Upper Minnamurra Falls

Upper Minnamurra Falls is a 25-metre waterfall on the Minnamurra River within Budderoo National Park, on the NSW South Coast near Kiama.

It forms where the river crosses a bench of harder quartz-rich sandstone as it descends the Illawarra Escarpment, with the surrounding rock having weathered away around this resistant formation. The falls are reached via the Falls Walk, a 2.

6 km return trail that continues from the Rainforest Loop Walk at the Minnamurra Rainforest Centre. The track follows an elevated walkway along the canyon cliff edge through dense rainforest.

A viewing platform at the end of the trail provides a direct outlook to the falls; visitors are not permitted to leave the track or access the river.
