I knew that title would get your attention lol. This one was a struggle in PP because of the extreme light and the haze from the waterfall plus the accompanying glare. The gully is narrow-sided and in deep shadow most of the time.

There's more than one version of the story behind the name. The most consistent versions are to do with a widow's son accidentally falling to his death and when his mother saw the body at the bottom of the falls she was overcome with grief, let out a loud wail and threw herself off the cliff. (Personally I think I would have liked it more if the name of this spot was the Laughing Widow Falls ).
