Facebook GroupThis is an interesting site to visit, though it's hard to get a good picture of the falls without wading into the river. The waterfall itself is far from spectacular, consisting of several little cascades and a nice slide-class waterfall at the bottom.
The slide is over a 30 degree mass of sloping, smooth bedrock. At low flow, the river passes over the slide as a thin sheet of water no more than a few centimetres in depth.
Note: there is very limited roadside parking at this site. I haven't visited in a long time, but understand that the situation hasn't changed. Please note that there is some rough ground and steep slopes in the area around the falls.
