Review:

You need to drive 2 km along Captains Creek Road which is a gravel road with a few potholes to reach the car park. The walk to the falls initially passes through open bushland on a dirt track and after a short time the track gets steeper and winds back and forth. On the way to the falls there are views into a gully which has tree ferns. After a walk of 15-20 minutes you reach a viewing platform which has a distant view of the falls which cascade down a rock face and disappear into the vegetation below. There are two routes which join together 250m from the falls which will be more obvious on the way back.

We visited in December and there was a reasonable flow of water.
