Its a nice place to stop off the bottom of the waterfall is not easily accessible and requires climbing and there isnt a lot of parking, it seems like a really beautiful spot to relax but unfortunately on the day I went some people were taking photos the entire time with loud music going so it was a lot harder to enjoy the area as they were even requesting people move from the area which was main attraction. I think the rubbish and the graffiti is a real shame as people have done it on the natural rocks around the falls. It just unfortunately seems to be a place where there is a lot of inconsiderate behaviour occuring, maybe because its so close to Sydney its convenience makes it an easy target for the wrong people to take advantage of it. I will definitely be back on another day so I can experience it better, its a nice place so close to Sydney as long as youre willing to do the climb and can get parking but worth stopping in as there are other great places around the area if you can't get parking or just want to stop for photos.

It's a small, but quite picturesque waterfall in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park just off McCarrs Creek Road. The stream is usually slow so you need to wait till rain. The way down is not marked and slippery due to wet mossy rocks and could be even more slippery at rain. Parking could be problematic - it's not well marked and there are very limited spots there. There are also no signs for waterfall so it's easy to miss. The waterfall has a 10m wide pool so swimming there is possible.

Very beautiful waterfalls with a nice area for swimming and a picnic. The upper Falls is easily accessible, however to get down to the swimming area requires a careful descent down through the rocks. There is limited parking, however is is before the entrance to the park meaning it is free. This does mean it can get quite busy also. Worth a look on a warm day, bring swimmers!

We visited for the first time a couple days ago and I love this place! It’s hidden from the road which is about fifty metres above the waterfall, so although you can hear some sounds, it’s a beautiful haven of bush with a lovely pool to swim in! The water was quite clear when we went, and a little cold. The waterfall was lovely, and there are lots of lizards hanging around as well. It’s a little bit of a climb to get down, but quite short, relatively easy, and manageable in thongs. There’s only room for about three cars up the top, as you pull over just after you have crossed a bridge, coming from the main road, and there’s just a little track that leads down to the pool. There’s a small patch of sand where you can get into the water on one side, and it’s possible to stand in a lot of places in the water. All in all it is a lovely spot and will definitely be...

To get down to the bottom is a bit of a challenge with some climbing involved but if you're up for that it's definitely worthwhile. You'll likely encounter a couple of the water dragons so bear that in mind if lizards aren't your thing (you don't want to get a fright whilst climbing up or down). I can imagine it can get quite slippery when wet so maybe not the best time to go then. Don't rush down or back up and take your time so you don't end up falling down as it would be a rough trip down as well as a...
