Mid North Coast Hinterland

Travel Guide

This is Ti-Tree Falls, but, if you go there, don't expect much flow.  I took this after sheltering for 20 minutes under a log but still managed to get saturated.
If you're looking for falls in this park, there are some, but you have to research to find them.

This was a beautiful little swimming hole in summer.  Watch out for the crayfish!
I've been here quite a few times and been down to this section twice.  It's the lower of the two main falls and requires a good sense of balance and bushwalking skills to do it but, for me, they're a more photogenic cascade than the much more popular upper falls.
Be prepared to be out of breath when you return to the main walk along the top of the escarpment.
This is an obscure waterfall called Tea Tree.  When it's dry there's barely a trickle here but I shot this one day when it was raining.  I had to take cover under a log for about 20 minutes before I managed to get this shot.
