Excellent water fall. Short easy walk to falls viewing platform, then short scramble to actual falls. Worth the effort.

Stunning. The drive in was slow going had to slow down constantly to cross wet and dry creek crossings. But worth the 10kms gravel road.

We love waterfalls, but this one was not worth the trip and road conditions made it time consuming.

A waterfall, beautiful and peaceful, cascades down the rocks with a soothing sound. The water shimmers in the sunlight, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. It is a place of natural wonder, offering a serene escape from the everyday. The gentle mist rising from the water creates a refreshing ambiance

Absolutely gorgeous! When you get there, the 'hike' to the falls is straight up, kind of looks like a landslide, walk straight up and follow the mountain around, and the falls will come into view. Absolutely magnificent spot!
