Australia 1913 PLSC,  BRIDAL VEIL Fall, New South Wales.

http://www.waterfallstamps.com/australian/australian_waterfalls 

Bridal Veil Falls is a waterfall in east New South Wales, Australia. It is situated about 280km north-northeast of Sydney. Bridal Veil Falls is about 575m above sea level.

Detailed Information: 

The figure of 608 meters is often associated with this waterfall, however, this is obviously a measurement from the brink of the falls to the very floor of the canyon, not the height of the falls themselves. The falls have also been listed at 984 feet (300 meters). This may be a valid estimate, but we feel that 537 feet is probably closer to accurate (this figure was arrived at by dropping a plumb line down the falls). Topo maps show the brink elevation at 890m and the base between 730 and 730m. If we split the difference, we get 165m of height. This confirms the height of 537' (164m) as far as we're concerned
