Starting from the end of Abercrombie Caves Road and Abercrombie Caves campsite, this return walk leads along Grove Creek through Abercrombie Caves area to get to the spectacular large Grove Creek Falls. Enjoy the waterfall from the lookout near the top, or wander down to the bottom of the falls if you'd like. Let us begin by acknowledging the Wiradjuri people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
