      It is a steep hike in places, but take your time. Signage is limited, if you refer to the trail guide on our website, that will greatly assist.

    I'm at least 83% certain that you were on the trail the same day I was - was this Saturday, or Sunday? A gorgeous and surprisingly satisfying trail; ended up popping up at the Mt Kiera lookout but although that was lovely, this section was enthralling. Nicely shot!

    Used to go here all the time from about 1995-2007 as grew up only 20 minutes away. Used to hardly ever be a single car here now there are always a few. Went in June 2010 and the path was closed and I think by the looks of it they planted over the paths from the first waterfall up to the rest!! Yes there are literally several waterfalls even nicer further up. I went a few years ago and for the life of me couldn’t find the path. There was a main path of the left hand side and a a more secondary to the right. Can anyone comment of this?
