Any information on the state of the track from Adamsons falls to Creekton Falls to the Duckhole would be much appreciated.

Apparently parks have just cleared the track to adamsons which had a lot of tree fall on it, so my guess is that beyond that the track would be pretty slow going as it was never great....

Yes, the Adamsons Falls Track was cleared of windfalls by Rangers from the Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service on May 25th. The route from Adamsons Fall to Creekton falls is a rough pad through the forest, not hard to follow but entirely unmodified.

Wow, it still exists, does it? I stumbled on this some ten or twelve years back, quite by chance. Started out at Duckhole, found the first set of falls, and followed a faint and intermittent line of tape around to the second set and the access road. Good fun - wouldn't mind doing it again. When it stops raining.
Great place for fungi.

Geez the route (couldn't call it a track) between Duckhole Lake and Creekton Falls is ROUGH. I walked it for work. Wouldn't recommend it. If you want to go to Creekton Falls take the Adamson's Falls Track.

slow but well taped to Creekton Falls
Creekton falls is a rough environment
Starts pretty rough but becomes easier to the Duckhole
Duckhole to the car easy

Did the loop hike to Adamsons and Creekton Falls yesterday. Lots of water flowing. The track between the two falls was rough, but easy to follow thanks to someone who recently taped the route.
Adamsons was probably the most impressive of the two with a 50 metre drop as opposed to the 30 metre drop of Creekton, but both were spectacular. Creekton Falls was easier to photograph as you could stand a little further back. There were also some very photogenic cascades below it.
