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.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
