    What the status badges mean

    Two things decide whether a waterfall is worth the drive today: how much water is going over it, and whether you can get to it.

    Flow is estimated each morning from rainfall in the catchment over the past fortnight. Closures come from state national parks alerts.

    Flow

    Pumping
    Big flow after heavy rain. Spectacular, but swimming is usually unsafe.
    Flowing
    A healthy, steady flow. Most falls look their best like this.
    Trickle
    Running, but thin. Often the calmest time for a swim.
    Probably dry
    Little recent rain in the catchment. You might find a damp rock face.
