Killen Falls Ballina NSW for Sunday Best

 



I have visited this waterfall on several occasions, primarily during my locum postings in either Ballina or Lismore, New South Wales. While I have previously shared several images of the falls, I had not, until now, revealed the singular perspective from within the cave behind the cascade. On that particular visit, the conditions were exceedingly damp, the air thick with mist and the roar of falling water echoing within the hollowed rock.

Killen Falls, part of the Emigrant Creek catchment, is a vestige of the region's ancient volcanic history—its basalt cliffs formed by lava flows from the long-extinct Mount Warning shield volcano. The waterfall plunges over a semi-circular basalt overhang, allowing one to stand within the cave and behold the curtain of water from behind, a rare and immersive vantage point in nature.

Following this wet and awe-filled exploration, I ventured to a nearby township where I partook in a traditional Jewish breakfast—an experience that remains warmly entwined with the memory of that elemental and storied place.

Lismore Murals for Mural Monday

 






I have recently come to the realisation of the substantial number of mural artworks which I have photographed over the past few years. As it has become increasingly difficult to feature all of them on my blog in a timely manner, I believe it is most appropriate to share them more broadly in each weekly post.

Leonid was my closest friend during our university years. Recently, we exchanged a few messages on Facebook, and I discovered that he is a fervent supporter of Meghan Markle. I never knew he was someone who enjoyed gossip, as he always advised me to keep things to myself. This revelation caused me to feel sudden discomfort, as it seemed he had changed. He is a dedicated bone marrow transplant physician, a father of four children, and has a devoted wife.

Lismore Murals for Mural Monday

 



It’s been a while since I left town for agency work, and I’ve come to realize just how impressive the street art is. Interestingly, last week’s news revealed that there have been two consecutive Powerball winners from the same town. I wish I had bought some lottery tickets there before I left.

There are not many murals in Lismore NSW. However, I manage to get all the ones there in one go.
