Black Creek unamed waterfall

Another water fall or more likely cascades not on your master waterfall list can be found approximately here -41.1836333 147.7842667 on Black Creek. We have visited a couple of times recently. If you are into geocaching this link will give you the coordinates http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GC10VVW, we are shazcol on geocaching. The third falls are quite nice falling between large granite sides and the second cascades over at least 3 levels. although reasonably small they are quite pleasant when flowing and a nice side trip to fill in part of a day. I suspect more can be found exploring down further for the those into bush bashing along the creek.
A local who we ran into at the tin center in Derby cut the unofficial track to them off the forestry spur track. Easy to find and only about 300M from track start. Well marked all the way with tape. A massive granite boulder just near falls is an interesting feature. Take the other blue tape marked side tracks and also up over the hill at the plastic bag tied on the tree to the second and third cascades (falls?). The list maps just have a small white area on the them and no markings at all.
You can see the track start about 3/4 up the spur road and the falls area clearly visible near the marker:

To get to the start of the track travel (from Launceston) to Branxholm and turn right onto Mount Paris Dam Road just before the cemetery, travel approx 3.4km till a track on the left side of the road is found. Either park here or drive up the track a short distance to the start of the marked track. Look for some white tape on a tree and a very overgrown gap in the thick scrub. Walk into the scrub at the white tape marker and soon you will come to the blue tape marked track start on your right, easy to follow from here.
Happy water fall bagging, something I enjoy also.
