Minyon Falls walking track — Attraction in Whian Whian

Definitely worth the 2.5hrs! It's important to take water and proper shoes. We saw a few people on the track walking in thongs and it would be a struggle as there are a few rock climbing parts and water obstacles. The walk is well covered by trees and on a 30 degree day we felt cool in some parts. The way down is much easier than the way back depending if you go back the same way you come from (which is what we did).
