The South Lawson Waterfall Circuit, officially the South Lawson Circular Waterfall Track or informally the Five Waterfall Walk, is a walk in Lawson, New South Wales, Australia.[1] It is a 2.6 kilometres (1.6 mi) track that bypasses five waterfalls and an optional sixth one.[2] The landscape changes a lot in the walk, ranging from wet, temperate forest, to dry forest with blue gums and wildflowers around.[3] The track follows the banks of Lawson and Cataract Creek, and is rated as easy to medium.[4][2] It has an elevation gain of 117 metres (384 ft) along the track.[4]
