Lower section. One big cascade. 2m vertical weir, small pool, bony rapid dropping about 5 or 6 metres at 45 degrees�into a rock face. small pool. narrow sluice drop feeding into a sump,undercut on left and rib of rock blocking right. small pool. 3m vertical drop. large eddy. then bony rapids to take out
No known issues. Hiking path with stile runs beside cascades
Walk down to cascades. If the rib of rock in the narrow slot is visible, its good to go.
Yep. That's kind of the point being here.
