Carmac, The main Event!1859 viewsI consider myself very lucky to be standing knee deep in a creek photographing this falls.

Actually there are two falls, side by side but, separated. I am not sure, even after looking at the map, if the one on the right is Evans Mill Falls.

What this place needs is a good safety officer.
Actually, one can do this quiet safely by mounting a camera on a light weight tripod or monopod, delay the shot, focus and press the shutter button. Hold the camera out over the edge until it clicks.
