Winterbrook Falls
January 21st 2006

The track to the falls starts at the car park about 15 kilometres south of Leven Canyon. Allow 5 to 6 hours to walk this trail. It follows the route of a logging tramway to the Winterbrook Falls. Along the way there are remains of bridges and some wooden rails that still remain in the bush. Approaching the falls, the trail offers excellent views over the surrounding country.

The Winterbrook Falls walk includes some short boardwalks before the big scramble up the valley to the base of the falls. First image below is one of the rare King Billy Pines, this one estimated to be over 2000 years old. Also below you'll see the old logging tramways (3rd image).


Views of the escarpment near the falls, as well as the falls (minimal flow) and finally, a superb photo opportunity near Forth on the way home, the field contrasts in this shot were too good to miss!
