This is one of my favourite half day walks and it was a perfect day for it. Nearly three years since I last walked it and I was surprised by the number of trees that have come down since my last visit. Recommend doing the full circuit in a clockwise direction. Approximately 5kms down to the rock pools and approximately 9kms back up following the creek. This way you will be walking up towards the multiple waterfalls along the way, culminating in the beautiful Elabana Falls just below the picnic rock. The track crosses the creek multiple times, and in places climbs quite high up beside it affording stunning views down on the creek through the bearded trees.

I like to start walking at first light and it took me 5hrs all up including a number of stops along the way to photograph waterfalls. Back at O'Reillys in time for lunch on the deck with the amazing views across to Mt Lindsay and Mt Barney.
