We visited Liffey Falls this morning. It's a bit of a windy dirt track to drive in to the shorter walk, but worth it. There are four falls along the track, but most of them aren't in a position to be photographed, so it's only this last one that I shot properly.
It is the drier months at the moment, so while they were flowing well, it was obvious that in the wet season they see a lot more water over them.

Liffey Falls from the far side, looking back towards the viewing platform. In this photo the falls are on the right of the frame, and there is a shallow pool below them and then a jumble of granite. Above the pool is the edge of the rainforest. The viewing platform legs can just be seen through the trees. Liffey Falls in its wider context. The falls cascade down the middle of a wide curved rock shelf. These rocks are covered in moss and ferns, except where the water is flowing.
Liffey Falls from below the viewing platform. There's a top short fall, before it cascades down a concentrated middle tier, and then splits in to two longer bottom falls before a short cascade in to the pool below.

Today we did a big loop from St Helens to Edistone Lighthouse and back via the Blue Tiers.

Along the way, we found a short walk to Halls Falls, which turned out to be a lovely easy walk through rainforest down to a very pretty waterfall.

A small cascade under the main falls. There are ferns on the far bank, and what looks like a placid shallow pool before the water tumbles down some rocks and out the bottom right of the photo. Either side of the cascade are moss and lichen covered granite boulders. Small ferns in the foreground, an expanse of shallow water in the middle ground and one half of the main Halls Falls in the background, with a profusion of tree ferns to the right.
A longer shot, looking up towards the main falls. The shallow creek flows directly towards the camera. There are small cascades amongst granite boulders in the middle ground and the main falls are in the background. A tree fern pokes in on the upper left of the photo, while the far bank (right) is covered in moss, ferns and tree ferns. The main Halls Falls as seen from inside the creek. They fall in two distinct falls, the left one being straight over a ledge, dropping a few metres before landing in the pool, and the right side being more of a cascade over the same height.
