From Leura Park to Gordon Falls Park this track has two great sidetrips down to some of the smaller waterfalls in the area. Don't be fooled by their size - they are quite beautiful. With fantastic views of the Jamison Valley between the falls this is one of the most diverse walks in the area. Allow some extra time for the side trips (especially Gordon Falls) in order to sit and reflect as the water cascades around you.
