This is Gap Creek Falls in Watagans National Park. It's a relatively short but tricky walk and you'll be extremely lucky to see this sort of flow going over. However, when you get some good rain, the fall expands dramatically and is well worth the walk in.

Unit was comfortable, quiet and pristine but stainless steel bin in bathroom had rusty lid which rather detracts from the overall impression. Ironing board cover thin and stained and needs replacing

Super small town. The convenient store had the best customer service and helped with dinner as the takeaway shop closed at 7pm. Beautiful and quiet.
