Hike summary

A short, loop walk through open bushland and past a 'dry waterfall'. Gentle Annie Falls is not an actual waterfall but a hand-cut channel in natural sandstone that was used to direct water into the Waterworks reservoirs. The 'falls' have been dry since the water was re-directed into the higher level Ridgeway Reservoir in the 1940s.
