Harry Phillips (1873-1944) was born in Ballarat, Victoria and moved to Katoomba, New South Wales, with his family in 1908. He worked as printer machinist while in Victoria, and later set up a photography business after he arrived in Katoomba. Phillips combined these two careers into the production of postcards and viewbooks, photographic brochures that were an early form of promotional material produced about the Blue Mountains. Phillips was a strong advocate for tourism in the region, with over 80 viewbooks produced.

Bridal Veil Falls is a cascade waterfall south-east of the town of Leura in the Blue Mountains, New South Wales. The falls are located downstream of the Leura Cascades.
These falls are different to Bridal Veil Falls, Govett’s Leap near Blackheath.
