When I was a teenager I read a book of survival where the main character was lost in the wilderness and followed the path of a creek to civilization, ever since I have wanted the same experience and this hike definately scratched that itch. You are looking at a minimum 1 1/2 hour hike each way along a stoney creek, it is not an easy walk and my girlfriend turned back after 1/2 an hour (which meant I did an extra hour as I accompanied her back). But you will be rewarded with the waterfall and a swim in the rock pool below. I didn't see another human or any signs of humanity during this hike and you are totally isolated in the heart of the worlds oldest rainforest. The hike starts behind the Heritage Lodge however they no longer acknowledge its existence (theres even a sign in the driveway saying it doesn't start there) as they do not want tourist invading their lovely resort. Park on the street outside the lodge and walk in or even better stay a couple days at the lodge. Make sure it has not been raining heavily before your hike, take 2 litres of water, let someone know you are going on the hike and start before lunch (you do not want to be stuck there in the dark). You will love this hike.

This was a lovely waterfall on our trip around the rainforest it was easy to access most parts and a beautiful place to stop. There were parts I didn’t access due to limited mobility, but plenty for me access and see.
