Broughton Pass
Highlights
- Drive through Broughton Pass for breathtaking views of the cascading waterfall after heavy rain.
- Marvel at the historical significance of the 1880s Broughton Pass Weir, integral to Sydney's water supply.
- Experience the lush scenery along Wilton Road, just south of Appin, perfect for a scenic drive.
- Capture stunning photographs of the Cascade Waterfall spilling into the Cataract River, a natural wonder in New South Wales.
Broughton Pass offers its best views after periods of heavy rain when the Cascade Waterfall, upstream from the bridge and weir, spills its waters into the Cataract River.
The Broughton Pass Weir was built in the early 1880s and was part of the Upper Nepean Water Supply Scheme. Access is via Wilton Road just south of Appin.
There is no access to the weir area as it is a restricted area of the Sydney Water Catchment, however, you can take a drive through Broughton Pass.
