Location: 6.5km South of Pongaroa
Driving time from Palmy: 1hr 40mins +, slow driving due to narrow, windy road, gravel in places but very well surfaced.
Terrain:
Undulating, some steeper sections. Separate route down to the bottom of the falls is very steep and slippery.
Track Surface:
Farm track, starts off rocky then packed mud or easy field walking. Very good.

Stock on and around the track; farm machinery such as quad bikes.
Some drop offs but in general a wide safe path
Can be very slippery after heavy rain.
Bridge near the start can be flooded after heavy rain.
Small stream crossing.
