Summary: The picturesque Hilary Falls is in the upper Blue Mountains along Govetts Creek, and reached by a 10km return bushwalk.

Located along Govetts Creek in the upper Blue Mountains, Hilary Falls is a picturesque waterfall which cascades over a small cliff into a small pool.

The waterfall was named by Reverend Edward Lampard – a reserve trustee of the Blackheath Group from 1902 to 1907 and a volunteer worker on the walking tracks of Blackheath – after his second daughter Florence Hilary Faith Robinson née Lampard.

Getting to Hilary Falls

Access to the waterfall is via the Horse Track from Evans Lookout to Govetts Creek, then by following the creek about 1.8km upstream. There is a rough track for part of the way, alternatively you can walk up the shallow Govetts Creek for most of the way. The route passes Edenderry Falls and Edenderry Pool; from this waterfall you need to ascend above the creek to avoid a series of smaller waterfalls and cascades. Govetts Creek to Hilary Falls has detailed track notes to both Edenderry Fall and Hilary Falls.
