De parking en wandelweg voor de Spahats Falls is vandaag blijkbaar gesloten. Je kunt wel de parking van de Shaden Viewpoint gebruiken en daar het wandelpad van 1 km lopen tot aan het uitkijkplatform. Het was al later in de middag en we waren blijkbaar alleen om deze hoge waterval in een diepe vallei te zien. Deze is vergelijkbaar met de Tolmer Falls in de Darwin regio van Australië.
