The Dangar Falls is a cascade waterfall located across the Bielsdown River about 1.21NaN1 north of in the New England region of New South Wales, Australia. The falls are small, picturesque, and are a popular photographic subject.[1] For a short time after rain, they are quite spectacular.[2] There is an attractive picnic spot which offers excellent views. It is possible to climb down the banks and walk along the river below the water falls.[3]
In the past, the waterhole has been the scene of several tragic accidents. Despite warning signs from the local council, the 30-metre high falls remain a popular jumping spot for tourists. In 2012, a 19-year-old German tourist died after jumping from the falls with her friends.[4] [5] In January 2024, a man died after jumping from the top of the falls.[6]
