nice to have

the walk itself is pretty good however, the fall is not as splendid as we thought, maybe because there has no rain for a while... good experience though

Access not for the fainthearted ..

.. as there is NO path of such ..but there is a car park and wc's .. that said the views are worth the peril of getting down the grassy (cowpat) slope rest awhile and take photos before you attempt to reclimb the slope ..
