I’m not really sure what to call this waterfall along the Central Coast Highway in West Gosford. Formed by an unnamed creek (which flows into Corrumbine Creek) cascading over a series of tiered rocks, the waterfall is located between the southbound and northbound lanes of the Central Coast Highway.
(Update – I have been informed of its correct name: what I called the “Central Coast Highway Waterfall” is in fact the Kendall Memorial Waterfall. It’s one of three waterfalls along this creek, not to be confused with the Kendall Chair Rock Waterfall which is further downstream. Thanks Rachel!)
Opposite the waterfall is an obelisk commemorating Henry Kendall, a 19th century Australian author and bush poet. There’s plenty of parking on the wide shoulder, if you want to get a closer look at the waterfall, or explore the rough track down to “Kendall’s Chair”, which is on the same creek as this waterfall.
