The walk heads downstream along the track with some steep stairs. The walk visits beautiful cascading waterfalls before coming to a great lookout over the Jamison Valley. The cooler temperatures at the lower end of this walk are very welcome on hot days. Enjoy the waterfall one more time before returning to the picnic area.
