I actually went to one at Edessa and there is a path that goes behind the waterfall. I took a video of it from behind and remember the constant thunderous noise of the water. If I can find the video I'll post it.

I've been to Edessa - can't remember where I was staying at the time. Got a piccie of our kids sat on the railing with the waterfall in the background. Lovely place, hope you find the video!
