During times of heavy rain or flooding, access to this walk may be cut off.There are plenty of carparking at this walk. Not to mention many BBQ's and tables. It is also suggested on this walk to stay within certian areas due to numerous cliff faces and the chance of flash flooding. People have been injured by jumping into the rock pools here and numerous signs tell you this on the way in.
The track has bitumen on it nearly all the way. The first stop after crossing the broadwalk bridge has views of the first waterfall. These are good but interrupted by small trees and shrubs.
It is not recommended but go down a little further go over the railing and down to a flat rocky area infront of the falls for really good shots of the first falls. And as soon as you are done come back the same way and continue down the track.
The second falls comes into view soon and there is a rock pool there where people often swim. There are plenty of sign on the opposite rock face warning people not to dive, slide down the falls or jump in. (watch out if taking a dip SUBMERGED LOGS )
Next is the third falls where just about everyone goes to cool off. There is a rope hanging from a tree branch (I would not recommend using this) most people just swim about and cool off in the third pool. It is accessable via a dirt track leading off just before the exit to the second waterfall.
Another day.... Another walk....
