Named after the man who discovered the falls while prospecting for tin. His nickname was the philosopher.

The walk to this viewing platform includes 200 plus steps.

Of course goes through some more temperate rainforest.

A different view of the falls. I hope you all appreciate my lugging my tripod up and down those 200 steps.

Some bracken ferns establishing themselves amongst the fallen timber.

Turns out these falls are on the head waters of the Arthur River that were were cruising on a few days ago.

This is a old hand dug water race that used to take water from the top of the falls to the mining town of Magnet to drive ore stamper crushers there.
