Near to Katoomba are the Katoomba Falls situated between the Three Sisters and the Scenic Railway, on the edge of the Jamison Valley. From the Reserve at the top there is a 1km circuit which provides spectacular views of the Falls, rainforest and bird life. However, to get the best views it is possible descend down the cliff via Furber's steps.
Furber's steps were built down the cliff face in 1908 and are named after Thomas Furber who was the lands department surveyor responsible for obtaining 140 pounds from the government to finance the project.
The falls have two main drops, Upper and Lower, with some smaller cascades in between. From the top to the mid point goes via a moist rainforest gully and then down to the bottom of the falls. Less seasoned walkers can walk from the base of the Scenic Railway to the base of the falls.
