Fitzroy Falls, New South Wales
- Fitzroy Falls, New South Wales
Fitzroy Falls is a village in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia, in Wingecarribee Shire. It was previously known as "Yarrunga", and is now named after the 81 metre waterfall located there.
First discovered in the early 1800s by Charles Throsby, Fitzroy Falls (the waterfall, in Morton National Park), was named after the New South Wales Governor Fitzroy during his visit to the beautiful area in the 1850s. While a town was planned for the area in the 1860s little development occurred. With the production of motor vehicles Fizroy Falls became, and still remains, a popular stopping point for tourists traveling towards the Highlands.
The population is about 500 including the villages of Avoca and Myra Vale.
