This is Gap Creek Falls in Watagans National Park. It's a relatively short but tricky walk and you'll be extremely lucky to see this sort of flow going over. However, when you get some good rain, the fall expands dramatically and is well worth the walk in.

Super small town. The convenient store had the best customer service and helped with dinner as the takeaway shop closed at 7pm. Beautiful and quiet.
