Higgin Falls

Higgin Falls (also referenced as Higgins Falls) is a waterfall on Wheengee Whungee Creek in the Kanangra area of New South Wales, Australia.

It sits within a remote, pristine canyon system that draws experienced canyoners and bushwalkers on multi-day expeditions through rugged terrain.

The falls are one of several significant drops encountered along the creek, which is rated Grade 5 and considered a difficult route requiring multiple ropes and careful navigation.

A YouTube account of the creek describes Higgins Falls as jumpable and notes that the surrounding rocks display distinctive purple coloring. The deep pools below the falls are known to hold large trout during winter months.

Reaching Higgin Falls involves a serious commitment — typically a two- to three-day journey through steep, technical terrain with multiple abseils and scrambles along the way.
