Tenacity Falls – a remote and elusive Wollemi waterfall

Located in a remote gully along a tributary of Wheeny Creek, Tenacity Falls was named by Bernard Lo who discovered this waterfall in 2026 from studying the detailed LIDAR maps. It has no official name, and is not shown as a waterfall on any map. The unnamed creek drops down a series of ledges over a height of about 73m in total, including the lower cascades.

The creek dries up or is just a trickle during dry periods, so Tenacity Falls is best visited after some rain.

There’s no access to the top of the waterfall from the base; there is potentially a way up to the top by continuing about 700m further down Wheeny Creek, and then ascending the next gully to the east.

Getting to Tenacity Falls

There’s no easy way to reach this waterfall; it’s a full day return bushwalk from Bells Line of Road; the majority of the walk (by distance) is on a firetrail, but the route also involves descending a steep gully to Wheeny Creek which is very slow-going.
