Very challenging
Starting from the car park at the end of Chestermans Road off Cole Hill Road, Strathblane, this walk takes you to Adamsons Falls. Venture into the untamed wilderness to find Adamsons Falls, a hidden gem of a waterfall cascading 50 metres down a dolerite wall within a temperate rainforest amphitheatre. The walk begins by following a wide and flat trail through a regrowth forest. The trail gets narrower and wilder as it gradually climbs through the old-growth rainforest before a steep final ascent to the waterfall. Once at the falls, short side trails lead to several tiered sections, with the top and base offering the best views. This is a fairly challenging walk through muddy terrain with many natural obstacles, so waterproof hiking boots are recommended. The trail is very overgrown and may be hard to follow at times, so keep an eye out for the pink ribbons and orange markers on trees. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
