Mungalli Falls Mungalli Falls is one of the more impressive waterfalls of the 17km Waterfalls Circuit (though technically, we didn't take Theresa Creek Rd to get to it). We took a walk that started from the Student Village & Wilderness Retreat then led past a difficult obstacle course (as tempting as it is to just give it a go, please get permission before using it) before descending down a gravel road towards the base of the falls. I think there was also a glow worm site somewhere en route as well (though we didn't check it out since it was too bright).
As we started the walk down to the base of the falls, there was also an attractive rivuleted cascade, but (as a sign so succintly stated) that was not the falls itself. I'm sure there are other ways to get there, but this was the approach we took.

It took us about an hour to do the walk as well as spend lots of time enjoying the falls from both its upper viewpoint (which also doubled as an abseiling area) near the retreat as well as the base. The gravel road looked like it could support vehicles (albeit a bit narrow and steep), but I'm not sure if anyone could drive it. We were perfectly content to just park near the retreat and walk.
