Descending over three drops, the waterfalls range in height between 77–130 metres (253–427 ft)[2] and are best viewed from the Hindmarsh Lookout,[3] accessible via a short walk from a road heading south east from Burrawang.
The falls were named after Somerset Lowry-Corry, 4th Earl Belmore the then-Governor of New South Wales.[4]
