Dip Falls
A waterfall that drops in two tiers over basalt columnar joints, with a giant eucalyptus, “The Big Tree,” nearby.
Dip Falls lies in the Dip River valley about 35 km southeast of Stanley, where the river tumbles in two tiers over hexagonal basalt columns, a striking formation. The car park has a lookout for views from above, and a flight of roughly 150 steps leads down to the valley floor for a head-on view. About 1 km from the falls is The Big Tree, a eucalyptus with a trunk circumference of about 17 m, reached by a short walking track. The final stretch is gravel road. It can be slippery after rain, so drive with care.
