Hi all,
I've tried searching the forum for info, but can't find anything...
Anway, we're heading back to the OLT again in August and this time I'd really like to try the "riverside" track between the waterfalls if the weather is half decent. I've wanted to try it the last two times we did the track, but never ended up doing it, mostly because we couldn't find the start of the track near Fergusson falls (although we didn't look too hard).
Can someone help me out with a few queries?
1. Last time we were at Hartnett falls (May 2015), it looked like work had been done to close-off the short "photo-opportunity" tracks that at the top of the falls, but I think there was one track still open that headed off downstream.... I presume this is one end of the riverside track that I'm talking about?
2. Is it generally accepted as "ok" to walk this track, or is it frowned-upon for conservation/rehabilitation reasons? I don't want to walk it if the track is degrading/eroding from excess traffic.
3. How do we find the start of the track near Fergusson falls?
4. What's the general state of the track? I've heard it can be pretty muddy (which makes sense, given it's location I guess!)
Hope someone can help?
