Weeping Rock
Notes: A small but iconic waterfall on Jamison Creek above the main falls, named for the rock formation adjacent to Darwin's Walk. The Rock was popular on postcard views from the early 1900s and first described in The Railway Guide to NSW 1879. Since Wentworth Falls Lake was built upstream and enlarged in the early 20th Century, it rarely gets enough water to display its full glory. Charles Darwin visited here on his journey to Bathurst in January 1836, when HMS Beagle berthed in Sydney.
