Gap Creek Falls Ι Watagans National Park
If you feel like there is a gap in your weekend, then Gap Creek Falls is here to fill that empty void. Tucked away in the Watagans, the waterfall is most spectacular after heavy rain fall.

Upper Gledhill Falls Ι Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park
It isn’t exactly on the Central Coast, but it’s close enough (and definitely pretty enough) to make it onto our list! Located in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, this waterfall and its surrounds are about as close as you’re ever going to get to the Garden of Eden. Except there’s no evil snakes lurking in the bush… we think.
