We only had four walkers on November 14th because of a doubtful weather forecast for the mountain, and left early to see as many waterfalls as possible. There had been some rain during the night and the bush and flowers were glistening and magnificent. Eurobin Falls is only a short distance from the entrance to the mountain. There is a steady climb to a series of classic falls each reaching higher, to disappear towards Lake Catani. Usually these falls consist of a water course or courses surrounded by bare rocks. The rain meant all the rocks were shining as well as the waterfall and added to the splendor. The Ladies Bath falls joins the Eurobin Falls at a lower level and is spectacular. We then drove up to Rollasons Carpark and descended in mist to the falls. There is an upper and lower falls. The lower is easier to get to and is the best. As we arrived there the mist turned into rain, so we had a quick look, and trudged uphill getting very wet. We drove to the Chalet for lunch in the car park shed before heading home. Vaughan Cowan |
