Minyan Falls.

The magnificent Minyan Falls are situated in New South Wales, Australia. They are a plunge waterfall on the Repentance Creek in the northern region.

The first four images have been digitally altered to create autumn tones and interesting textures.

The Minyan Valley is a sub-tropical rainforest area which features a wide variety of palm trees, birds nest and staghorn ferns and the top of the falls feature tallowwood, blackbutt and flooded gum trees.

This waterfall drops more than 100 metres (300ft) over the massive Rhyolite cliffs which formed as part of the Tweed Volcano. The waterfalls were created after constant flows of water eroded underlying basalt. There are many scenic walking tracks from the top of the falls which makes this place a popular tourist attraction.

One of the longer walking trails is 4.5 kilometres long going from the top of the falls across a ridge near Quandong Falls and through to the valley at the bottom of the Minyan Falls. Another few kilometres further along walkers follow a loop which leads back to the road and towards the car park once more.

Repentance Creek which used to be called Boggy Creek is the water that feeds the falls. Most of the time there is plenty of water flowing but the amount varies. The waterfall can dry up during the drier seasons which makes the plunge pool at the base un-swimmable.

Some of the wildlife that live in the area are, goannas, kookaburras, bandicoots, tawny frogmouth and stony creek frogs, whip birds, yellow tailed black cockatoos, carpet python and green tree snakes. Sometimes koalas, lyrebirds and pademelons are sighted.

The last few miles leading to the Falls are unsealed but thankfully there are many local tour companies who offer regular trips to the Minyan Falls. Towns that are situated nearby are Byron Bay, Ballina and Lismore.
