    Nice track to go see 2 different and beautiful waterfalls!

    Feels like a lush rainforest. The track is muddy, might not be the best after a heavy rain but it adds a little fun to it. We ran when we could, took us a bit more than an hour.A little part of the loop (the end) is on a dirt road, a bit less scenic. The best is to do it anti-clockwise! Enjoy :)

    A nice walk through native forest.

    We went there after rain so it was pretty muddy. You can see two beautiful waterfalls on this track.
