Itinerary description

Best down after rain because the Waterfall almost stops in dry weather and the water in the waterhole below the Falls becomes a little dirty/stale without a reasonable flow of water.

Care need to be taken scrambling up the left side (of the waterfall) when starting your return trip. If you're not confident with the scramble up then I suggest returning the way you came in.

    Well done, certainly would be a challenge scrambling down from the top of the Falls. It's a nice hike/scramble.
