One notable area called "The Waterfall Way" in New South Wales is a scenic drive between Coffs Harbour on the coast to Armidale in the New England region. The trip passes through seven national parks, three of which are listed as World Heritage Areas by UNESCO. They form part of the preserved Gondwana Rainforests of Australia. Waterfalls here are plenty as rivers are foced to flow over the hilly landscape.

The island state of Tasmania has many spectacular falls that cascade down rainforested slopes. These are often captured on postcards that epitomise the pristine Tasmanian wilderness.
