Menu
GPS Tracks
This walk leads through open eucalypt forest, dropping almost 300m down to the suspension bridge across Baxter Creek and the Falls to your left. The water falls into a 'bowl', before cascading into the bottom of the creek. Access to the 'bowl' is thought to be by bush bash to the left, but was not tracked.
Getting there:
Head to Mapleton on the Blackhall Range and in the centre of town turn down Obi Obi Road and then left into Suses Pocket Road. There is no access into Suses Pocket Road, an no car parking provided.

Route/Trail notes:
Walk down Suses Pocket Road, go through the gate and follow the tarmac road down for 200m before turning left onto the signposted track for the Great Walk. This well defined track then zigzags down the slope towards the creek, with plenty of steps to negotiate. At the bottom you can cross the metal bridge and then turn left along the creek to the falls, or turn left along the creek before the bridge.
Permits/Costs:
None
