The first route is considered a dry weather only route because it fords the Gellibrand River. If you can ford the river, the unsealed road continues to a car park area from where you can hike to the falls in roughly 15 minutes or so. But unless you have a 4wd, the safest bet is to take the other route, which leads to a picnic area. From there, you'll have to walk an additional 15-30 minutes each way to get to the other side of the ford and then continue walking the rest of the way to the falls.

When I last researched this waterfall, they're trying to rehabilitate the Gellibrand River basin by poisoning non-native species while replanting the area with native ones. This may result in some access closures. We didn't run into this issue during our November 2006 visit.
