We decided to visit here off the cuff after googling bush walks. It's really easy to get here and we realised there's two entrances. One takes you to the boardwalk and there were quia few kids on scooters along the way. Onec the board walk stops its undealed ground. I went in running shoes but partner went in thongs and he said he was ok. The water fall is really lovely, even without any rain. Alot of people were swimming and the water felt nice, looks pretty nice, but we didn't swim. There were a lot of different animals. We saw goannas, bugs, bush turkeys, partner thought he saw a koala. There's toilets at the car parks and a resturant at the boardwalk end. We were looking at the beautiful old building it's in and the manager came out and asked us if we'd like to have a loom around. He explained they were closed and preparing for a private event. He told us a bit of the history, showed us the set up and wine collection. It was just beautiful and the food they were preparing smelled fantastic. So nice of him to show us around. The walk is not hard but there are a few steepish parts, but you can definitely stick to the boardwalk if you need. It is really beautiful. The carpark also had bbq areas and picnic tables. Didn't have a close look at them. We headed into the town for lunch and there were some great places open. Definitely worth the...

Second time visiting. Parking can be tricky but we have managed to get one both times. There are other walks available. Sufficient signage, so it's obvious where to choose. Can't beat a quick walk to see a waterfall! The shorter path was closed this time. Suitable for most ability levels as I saw kids on this walk. I recommend bringing decent shoes with grip as it was wet in some parts and you need to descend to see the waterfall below. There's a combination of large stones you need to navigate as steps and unpaved walking track. There is some signage for directions. The waterfall was beautiful on the day we went. It's a popular spot. I saw some teenage kids jumping into the water. I bet it would've been cold! There are portals to explore if you feel so inclined. Save some energy for the return journey back as it's uphill. There are some benches and undercover sheltersIand a bin near the start of the walk. I didn't see any rubbish so well done, everyone, for respecting nature and doing their part to keep this...
