Drifting cloud around the waterfall of Govetts Leap in Blackheath, a small town in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia. William Romaine Govett was an assistant surveyor who first arrived at the waterfall in 1831. The 180-metre waterfall flows over a sandy cliff face called Taylor’s Wall into the Grose Wilderness in the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area in The Blue Mountains National Park. The vast wilderness of the Blue Mountains consists of thick swathes of an Australian temperate Eucalypt-forest of woodlands, swamps, scrublands, grasslands, wetlands, sandstone cliffs, canyons, and waterfalls as well as an abundance of wildlife.
