Hike Overview

If you like waterfalls, this is a cracker. You start up high on the escarpment with a lookout which looks over the valley you will soon be dropping into, you will walk a mix on old/new fire trail until you hit the creek you will be following and criss-crossing for the next few kilometres, this is the start of single trail which you will be on until the end. Oh and waterfalls start here! Victory Fall, Terrace Falls, these hum just after rain! There are a number of small out and back trails off the main circuit, worth doing with picturesque waterholes at their ends.

The Terrace Falls Circuit is relatively easy, but it does have some uneven terrain and several short uphill sections. The time estimated allows for plenty of time stopping to enjoy the falls and take photos but you could certainly do it in less.
