Waterflow
Introduction
It's a great day with a bit of flow, maybe 5-7hrs depending on how long you spend on the slides.
Approach
Find a park on the road, walk to the falls
Descent
Small drop off the rd to a tricky scramble down a gutter on the left. You could probably walk in to below that from a little lower down the road.
You'll find some webbing round a rock near a boulder top of 2nd. Its about 40m on left.
Straight into 3rd a series of maybe six, 5-10m cascades, we did them all on 2x60m. Not a great anchor there used a log or some small trees, it can all be scrambled on the right.
Next a few 100m very pretty creek walk with lots of small scrambles, loads of slides in this section.
Then opens up to a flat shelf with a log anchor at the top, into 4th another aprox 40m into a pool. Also very easily scrambled on the right.
5th we anchored of a tree creek left, its a nice slot again little more than 30m I think.
Exit
From there its again a few 100m creek walk down to the Rosewood, after the next big creek on the right Newell enters, a trail on the right bank starts its getting fairly hard to find up there now, but gets clearer as you go DS. That ends at a little car park at the end of Little North arm rd.
Red tape
Try not to make a spectacle of yourself on the road, the cops don't like it.
