Meetus Falls

Meetus Falls is a lovely and tall waterfall plunging on the Cygnet River into a gorge with reliably good flow (in fact, it's said this waterfall flows year round). I reckon it puts on quite a show in rainier times, but it's still heaps good. In any case, our timing was such that we did manage to see a small rainbow within its drop further adding color to the impressive scene.

The falls was easily viewable via an established walking track requiring about 15 minutes return. It got a little steep and slippery in places on the dirt and rocky track as we descended towards the wooden platform. So we did have to take our time. There was also another short spur track leading to the Cygnet River itself, but we didn't opt to do that and linger here longer.

Directions: The access road to the falls is off the Lake Leake Highway opposite the turnoff for Lost Falls (I recalled there was a smart ass sign changing a sign from saying "Meetus Falls" to "Feetus Falls"; haha!). After some 10km of unsealed driving (keep an eye out for huge eagles in the area), a rougher spur takes you to the established shelter and car park.
