Gleniffer Falls

Gleniffer Falls is a dramatic waterfall on the Never Never River in New South Wales, situated within the Bellinger River catchment area near the Dorrigo Plateau.

It is widely regarded as one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the region, drawing experienced hikers and canyoners willing to put in the effort to reach it.

Reaching the falls is a serious undertaking — a full day's commitment with a minimum of six hours of walking, involving rock hopping and scrambling with no marked track.

For those who descend the canyon, the experience intensifies: the gorge features steep, intimidating terrain and a striking slot section in the lower falls that has been described as among the best waterfall abseiling in Australia.

The Brooklana 1:25,000 topographic map is recommended for navigation.
