Bridal Veil Falls

Bridal Veil Falls is the other of two lovely waterfalls near the Lemonthyme Lodge Wilderness Retreat near the Cradle Valley section of Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair National Park. The falls tumbles some 15-20m in an open area of Bulls Creek. When the creek is flowing well, the falls looks like an impressive rectangular curtain of water. But in lower flows (like when we saw it), the wall of water becomes columnar strands draping its underlying rock wall. Combining this waterfall with

The day use car park is in the Lemonthyme Lodge complex. From there, you walk along a 4wd track up the hill past the manager's residence and continue onwards up the hill until the track starts to level out and descend. Along the way, you may notice a nice lookout with a sign and picnic table to catch your breath. As the track starts to descend from its apex, you'll see a signed fork where you have a choice of continuing on the 4wd track or taking the steep primitive track down to Champagne Falls. Along the way down, there is a spur track taking you through the shaded forest along Bulls Creek towards the Bridal Veil Falls. You can regain the 4wd track from here by going up the steep path on the opposite side of the log bridge.

Alternatively, you can just take the 4wd track past the fork and all the way to the next fork, which descends to Bridal Veil Falls. Then you can choose to do the loop in the other direction, or go back the way you came - skipping Champagne Falls.

Allow yourself about three hours to comfortably take in both waterfalls. It takes two hours if you're just going to one waterfall and returning back the way you came.
