Tianjara Falls is located in its north just north of the Braidwood Road, but is usually dry except after significant rain.[4] The falls are best seen from a viewpoint accessible from Braidwood Road, with a viewing platform located just on the eastern flank of the canyon. The ridge surrounding the falls was heavily burnt in the Australian bushfires of the summer 2019–2020.
Mount Tianjara lies in the far south, with an elevation of 768 metres (2,520 ft) above sea level.
After 'The Wool Road' (now Braidwood Road) was built, there was to be a township near to Tianjara Falls. It was first surveyed in 1841[5][6] and again in 1856[7] but never eventuated.[8] At the 2016 census, Tianjara had a population of none.[9]
