Ice Fall
It's not truly a waterfall -- and one could argue that if the water is frozen solid it is hardly 'falling' in any event.
But it looks pretty spectacular, either way. We get a lot of these along the roads up here. There's a monster cliff near Port Sydney where the ice climbers come. And one near Kearney that is coloured pale green by the minerals in the rock. (we are curious if this is the origin of the term 'iceberg lettuce'.
This one is located on the Port Cunnington Road. Our "second scenario" of the Ancient Mariners Club were here this week -- they like to describe themselves as the Elite group from AMCC -- and several of them hiked over to check out the ice frozen on the rock cut, about half a mile from Bondi. You can get there along the road, or walking partway through one of the ski trails. Or, as winter moves along, walking right across the frozen bay.
However you get there, it's worth the walk, just to check this out!

Checking out icicles is one of my favourite things to do while driving back and forth in Toronto. And we do have some "fairytale houses" which are pretty charmimg, but I have to admit that they are nothing like your icicle waterfall. That is pretty spectacular!
