Starting from The Glade picnic area take this return walk is different to other waterfalls walks. This one takes you through lush rainforest and behind the waterfall into a rocky cavern. If you want you can prolong the walk along Wonga walk and make it a circuit walk. Let us begin by acknowledging the Gumbaynggirr people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
