I did this walk last weekend, although here it is numbered 16 just a note it is now numbered 50 in the updated P&W version for those that look for it,

The drive in takes you through Ringarooma past the beautiful tree carvings of the soldiers and in it self worth a visit, and on to the State forest of Mt Victoria where the road becomes gravel, I own a Kia Rio and found the rd to be no trouble just not something you would drive fast on is all smile.gif
This road takes you up into the forest until you get to a small car park which to be honest if you were driving fast would miss it easily, There is a picnic area with a covered area to sit and relax and on the way to "Norm's lookout" to view the Waterfall is a Eco pit toilet, The walk to the falls is a easy 20 min return a little bit slippery in places but very doable to the average walker then there is the 50 minute walk around the "Cashs Gorge Loop" Ohh that is so worth the effort to follow this trail, a lovely lookout over the valley below, beautiful moss gardens that look like it has been snowing under the trees, small creeks quietly flowing to join bigger ones further down, through button grass plains and back to the car park , well worth the visit,
Ohh and the waterfall well to stand out on the lookout and view the ribbon of water cascading down is just magical .

Thanks for the info Sim. I am assuming you came in through the Ringarooma end, not the Ralph's Falls end? Tried to get in through the Ralph's Falls end once but the road was deteriorating badly the further we went at the time, and decided that we would try from the other end one day.

Am going to have to check and see what they have done with the new updated guide now. Nice shot of the falls smile.gif
