Fernhook Falls
Fernhook Falls is a wide waterfall found (well, in theory anyways) just a short detour from the South Western Highway (Hwy 1) north of Walpole. From the car park (see directions below), the wheelchair-accessible path leads to various views of the falls though you're going to have to contend with foliage getting in the way. However, if you continue driving past the car park and over the bridge, supposedly you might be able to get nicer views from the other side of the watercourse. Our Explore Australia book said a high-clearance vehicle is necessary, but we were able to make it without any problems. But even as I say this, I'm sure depending on the weather and road maintenance, it may not be this trouble-free when you decide to do it.
