About Horizontal Falls in Australia
These unusual waterfalls are the result of another trick of nature unique tidal movements When turquoise water flows through two narrow valleys. Water collects on one side of a rock in the McLarty Range and flows rapidly through a small channel, forming a waterfall. You will also notice that these springs turn sideways.
The coolness doesn’t end here, friends!
Every day, when the tide turns, the water starts flowing in the opposite direction. So waterfalls aren’t just horizontal, they’reversible‘ Very. What to say?!
