Capital Country

Travel Guide

Fitzroy Falls, New South Wales, Australia
Fitzroy Falls, New South Wales, Australia
We were lucky to visit when there was some good recent rain.
The falls at Micalong Creek just south of Wee Jasper. Wee Jasper is a small village with a population of around 275 people, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, although it swells to nearly 2000 over the Christmas/New Year period. Its eighty minutes North West of Canberra and 45 minutes South West of Yass nestled not far from the Goodradigbee River and the Hume and Hovell walking track. 

Be warned there is not much there, both the General Store and Hotel where closed until further notice when I visited so take your own provisions.
Some of the rest stops along the Federal Highway from Canberra  to Sydney give you the most stunning views!

Had a fantastic one night stay. Reception staff were lovely (on arrival and departure). The room was spacious, clean, comfortable and very quiet. We like a dark room at night and it was perfect with the blackout curtains.
