Browne Falls

The Browne Falls is a waterfall on the Doubtful Sound in Fiordland National Park on the South Island of New Zealand.

The waterfall is located in a garden of temperate rain forest and falls in a cascade with in a fjord near Hall Arm.

Depending on the source heights of 619 m or 836 m are given. These differences result from whether the difference in elevation of the lake, the springs of the case, or only the height of the cascade is assumed. Source and mouth are about 1 km apart.

The watercourse is Lake Browne, a tarn ( glacial lake ), the water level is 836 m above sea level.

When it is filled, it is running, similar to the Sutherland If, on its edge on the rock.

The Browne Falls are one of two candidates for the title of the highest waterfall in New Zealand. The other is another Tarn behind Elizabeth Iceland, also in Fiordland. There are in Doubtful Sound itself, two other major waterfalls - "Helena" and "Lady Alice".
