Name:
Ida Falls Creek *
Description:
Rises above the Bells Line of Road between the Zig Zag Railway Line on the east and Scenic Hill on the western side. It flows for about 3km generally north by west into Farmers Creek. Ida Falls within this creek have quite a few old names and dates written on the surrounding cliff faces, several dating to 1893. The Australian Town and Country Journal, 13th January 1894, p. 31; col. 2, records,"Lithgow-favourite holiday resorts...The most noteworthy of these are...Ida Waterfalls. The last mentioned, strange to say, although but 2 1/2 miles from the town, were only discovered by some old fossicker, I believe, a few months ago."
