Phantom Falls

February 23, 2024

Phantom Falls is a mysterious weather phenomenon that can occur in all seasons. However, it is more common in Autumn and Spring. In the Blue Mountains, it's mostly seen over Narrow Neck, Katoomba, and it is frequently seen over Kings Tableland, Wentworth Falls. For the Falls to appear, the weather conditions must be exact with high humidity. This natural event is caused by air in the Jamison Valley being warmed by the sun’s rays and rising to meet the colder air in the Megalong Valley. The resulting mist creates a ‘waterfall’ effect which falls slowly and dramatically over the cliff into the Jamison Valley.
