I was fortunate as an UK resident to visit Melbourne Australia and more fortunate to have visited the central Victorian region of Australia. There in the middle of Australian bush is a magnificent canyon and it too has a waterfall that in winter becomes mossy and stained. It is called The Cascades. The Cascades is also a favorite swimming spot (although always cold as the water is so deep). There have been many artist interpret this absolutely hauntingly beautiful area of Castlemaine. It is steep in Indigenous history and you can almost feel the ghost of the aboriginal surrounding you. The cliff fronts have markings associated with aboriginal dream time. Truly magnificent.

Glad you enjoyed the post. Some more interesting facts...Most canyons are formed by long-time erosion and are more common in arid areas than in wetter areas because weathering has a greater effect in arid zones. Which is interesting because the Sumidero Canyon area is far from being an arid zone! It seems that the reason is that this Canyon is actually a result of a geological fault during the Pleistocene.

A fjord is a type of sound. A sound is defined as wider than a fjord and is narrower than a bay. Steep, near vertical, sides are typical of a fjord. Doubtful Sound in New Zealand, although a sound, is more precisely defined as a fjord, if you'd like an example.
