Rochester Falls

Rochester Falls is a waterfall on the Savanne River in the Savanne district, a short distance from Souillac. The broad cascade runs over rectangular basalt formations, a distinctive geological feature noted in the available reference material. The surrounding area is rural, and the waterfall is a natural stop for visitors exploring the south rather than a developed attraction with a staffed ticket office or visitor centre.

Access conditions can vary, and the approach may include uneven ground; check local directions before setting out and wear footwear suitable for wet or rocky surfaces. The water and rocks can be hazardous, especially after rain, so keep a safe distance from the edge and do not assume swimming is safe. Do not count on visitor facilities; plan independently and take any rubbish with you. The site works best as a brief nature and geology stop combined with other southern attractions.
