Siri Waterfall


Siri Waterfall, formerly called Santa Maria Waterfall, is a waterfall located about 3 km inland from the eastern coast of the island of Gaua in northern Vanuatu.
The supply of water to the waterfall is from Lake Letas. This lake is a large freshwater lake located in the crater at the centre of the volcanic island, about 600 meters above sea level. Water flows from the lake 3 km east to the top of Siri Waterfall. After the waterfall, the water flows as a large stream, called Mbe Solomul River, for another 3 km before it reaches the sea. The large stream is known as "Big Water".
A rough estimate of the water flow rate was approximately 5 cubic metres per second.
