Usually, there might be couple of cars in the car park but today it was full and cars were parked along the road. Was it going to be crowded? There were a couple of very large groups but we diverted to keep out paths crossing.
There heaps of various flowers in bloom!
We walked along a seldom used track along the creek and came across a brush turkey perched on guard on top of his mound. I said he, as the male looks after the incubation of the eggs that inside the mound.
We crossed the creek at a mossy rock section where the water flowed under the rocks.
We followed another seldom used track on the other side of the creek. We could hear lots of birds and got a couple of glimpses of them. The track lead to an open expanse of flat sandstone with the creek gurgling and cascading along its western side. Very pretty and slippery in parts.
Back on the track and we continued until the junction of the two creeks and the two waterfalls which dropped into a shallow pool at the base.
We hopped (not really) across the stepping stones to continue on the loop track. We turned off twice along this section of the track down to a deep overhang of rock which the creek flowed over. It was very pretty. Jacinta navigated on the slippery and uneven rocks to get behind the waterfall. Just down from the falls we sat for awhile on the flat rocks and enjoyed the sunshine.
We continued along the track and back to the van. A glorious day for a slipping and a sliding hike.
