Why do they call it redwater?

Looks like it's ripping through. Bit of rain up there lately?

Yes mate. This one is seasonal and doesn't run in the summer but when there's a good wet patch it's worth a visit and quite easy to get to.

Thanks for commenting.

The direction of the water has me a little baffled.
Falling down 'waterfall' on the left, yet the water seems to run to the right. Perhaps there is an illusion there.

This view might illustrate the run of the creek better. The stream is in flood so there's much more coming over the falls than there normally is. The creek does a right angle turn at the foot of the falls and goes left.. in Summer time there's very little flow at all, if any.

Thanks for the explanation Greg ... it does make sense now. Will be more observant of our waterways from now on.
