Pelverata Falls

Pelverata Falls plunges approximately 114m off a cliff and is especially impressive if it's flowing well.

I happened to see this waterfall in a more wispier state but it was still pretty nonetheless. It looked like this waterfall had a small catchment so it could easily go dry, and that's something to keep in mind to a visit here. Yep, you'd probably have to either time a visit here or come earlier in the Spring under a more normal precipitation year (we eventually learned that even

In order to see the falls, I had to walk (with a little train running in there since Julie was waiting back at the car) between a little over two hours return. I'm sure at a more leisurely pace, it's more like 2.5 to 3 hours return.

The track started off wide and pretty open as it skirted the boundaries of a private farm. I did recall there were a pair of unsigned junctions where I went left on one and right on the other. Then, the trail narrowed with some slight overgrowth much of the way. It was in this stretch that the area seemed full of either small kangaroos or big wallabies (couldn't totally be sure but there were a bunch hopping about then disappearing just before I got to see them on the trail). The final section of track traversed loose rocks with steep dropoffs. I had to slow down and exercise caution to get through this part, but once I got through this, I reached the viewing platform looking up at the Pelverata Falls.

That last section of track also provided views across the canyon of Slippery Falls. Given the difficulty of the track at this section, I almost made the mistake of thinking this was Pelverata Falls, but I was glad that I persisted on the rocky stretch (when I doubted that the trail wouldn continue). I can totally see how this could throw anyone off and deny that person a chance at seeing the actual falls after coming out all this way.

Either way, I ended up with two impressive waterfall sightings in one go. Not bad!

Once I got onto the access road (I believe it was signposted), it was barely a kilometre to the car park.
