Leura Cascades are possibly one of the most visited waterfalls / cascades in the Blue Mountains, it is a little more challenging to visit them now that the Leura Cascades Picnic area and access road is closed for repairs after a massive weather event in early 2020. You can still walk to them from two locations, the first, which is how I accessed them is from the sharp bend on Cliff Drive near the Solitary Restaurant, there are road barriers up, but you can still walk in, it just takes a little longer to get to them now but they are still totally worth it. The alternate, and not sure exactly how you can access from the other end, but you may need to come all the way from Tarpeian Rock access track, then follow the clif top walk around and down to the cascades, a much longer way.

As you can see from a couple of the images, there is a lot of storm debris built up in the bottom of the cascades, right infront of and up against the main viewing platform, this platform would have been well under water during these storms.

The Leura Cascades are possibly the longest cascades in the Blue Mountains, with Terrace Falls at Hazelbrook possibly coming in at second place. They cascade over many levels over quite a distance and the walking track floows alongside for the majority of the cascades distance, just a stunning set of cascades and an easy walk for all ages.

I have seen people swimming in the bottom pool, no chance of that now with all the trees builtup in this pool, they will eventually be washed away in another storm, thus changing the view to a more open view again.

One of the top falls to visit in the Blue Mountains I think.
