Description and access

The waterfall is most likely named after New Zealand-born George Fox Beauchamp-Proctor (1859–1955), who was the engineer in charge of the construction of the Beech Forest Railway. [2]

Access to the waterfall from Beech Forest is via Binns Road, then to Flannigan Road, and then Beauchamp Falls Road, which then reaches a picnic and camping area. From this area, a walking path, with views of mountain ash and ferns, reaches the waterfall, which is 3 km in return. [2] [3]
