About Douglas River Falls

Douglas River Falls is the unofficial name given to a waterfall marked by a blue line on topographic maps 150 metres downstream of Tevelein Falls, accessed by an off track hike up the Douglas River from the Tevelein Falls campsite along the Leeaberra Track. The falls are very photo friendly with lots of smoothed granite rocks though they are no more than 5 metres high. 

More information on the hike can be found on the Tevelein Falls page. It is worth mentioning that maps incorrectly mark Tevelein Falls as being downstream of the campsite when no waterfall exists there at all. It's technically possible that this waterfall was intended to be Tevelein Falls by those who originally named it, but given the waterfall upstream is a much larger drop we have attributed the name to that one.
