Strath Creek Falls Unfortunately, falls lived up (or down) to the name of the state forest it resides in as the falls was completely dry on our November 2006 visit. I reckoned it didn't stand a chance against the drought. Still, I've left a photo here to allow you to imagine how nice it would've been had it been flowing and perhaps you might find it worth your while if you've had better luck with the weather than we did (see a photo of the falls with water here). The access road getting to the falls was a bit tricky for us especially if since we were driving a passenger vehicle. This is because the turnoff leading to the falls was on pretty rough unsealed road that gots increasingly more rough as we entered a one-way loop. There was a very steep and rocky descent towards a picnic area around where the road bent and it was here that a short walk led to the overlook of the falls. I didn't dare take the passenger hire car down this incline and opted to leave the car on the hill and walk my way down. Then when I returned to the car, I drove back out against the flow of the one-way road. Fortunately, there wasn't anyone else around so I got away with that.
