Great, fun, off trail hike. QPWS have now put in markers for the Piper Comanche track and the first detour off the main track happens at a marker and is quite obvious. The path after this is fairly easy to follow to begin with but the track is easily lost if you stray off the path. I recommend downloading a map so you can re-position yourself. Once you begin the real decent down the pink markers are a lot more frequent making the track easier to follow but hectic steep. Can easily slip on the loose rocks and leaves. Unfortunately the waterfall is dry at the moment. Still a beautiful spot though.

Unsure if anybody else has walked this trail since 2021 but wow it is bad. We enjoy a good adventyre trail but this was next level. In most parts the trail is non existent and the only thing guiding you is the pink markers in the trees. Years of leaf growth covering the trail makes it extremely dangerous on the last section as it is super steep. I slipped on leaves and went sliding down the side once and a second time stood on what looked like a tree stump only for it to disintegrate, under my step, causing me to fall and slide a second time. Almost all of the trees are rotting out of the ground and none of the rocks arw secured in the ground either so you have a hard time finding any safe object to stable yourself with.

Great walk through rainforest, all quite easy and well marked thanks to the pink ribbon someone placed along the way. The last 100m is very steep and mainly loose rock which many would find difficult and hazardous. A lot of water at the moment and the waterfalls were definitely worth the walk.

This track has become very overgrown since I first hiked it and I can confirm that the last 100m is very steep. You know you are in the right place when you can hear running water. Best time to go is after the rain as the waterfall is spectacular. If you go in Dec/Jan you will see the Christmas orchids in bloom.
Following up on previous comments:- if you see a sign on any trails that reads AS.... followed by a number, it is reference to an apiary site where bee keepers drop off and collect their hives.

Tried again to find the track. I took the left fork in the photo named "The first unknown/unsigned fork". Quite dark and a lot of logs across the narrow track. Jogged down it for about 20 mins (roughly 2km) and didn't see any branching paths. Then I came across a herd of feral pigs. A large one started giving warning growls that I was in their patch. So I turned right around and jogged back the way I'd come. Hidden Waterfall remains hidden.

Attempted to find the walk from Lepidozamia Break, but no luck. It's hard to tell if you're at the correct path fork ... or whether that's just a dead-end.

Great walk off the beaten track. The waterfall is a trickle at the moment but would be great to visit after some decent rain. Very steep with loose rocks as you get closer to the waterfall.

Well worth the walk, very dry today. Quite a steep drop in the last few 100ms down to the creek.
We saw stoney creek frogs and giant land snails.
Very thankful for the pink trail markers, even if they were a little too plentiful and took away from the adventure a bit.
