Hi to all. Last sunday 22/02/09, my friend and I made the ascent to Winterbrook Falls. For those unfamiliar,these falls are 50k's south of Ulverstone underneath the summit of Black Bluff. Walking through the magnificent stand of King Billy pines , the walk is primarily a climb over tree roots and rocks . Thankfully the judicious placement of pink tape prevented us getting lost . Some of the old railway area is still preserved, but the old bridge has only 2 planks left on it. Just at the moment,there is virtually no water coming over the fall.
We met a walker who had camped at Paddy's lake overnight, with the intention of climbing Black Bluff, however lowering fog (a frequent occurence ) prevented this.
Probably not promoted enough as a day walk ,but ,is as a tourist destination ,hence us coming across 2 grossly unprepared parties. Well worth a trip , but wait till it rains first.
Next destination ..Meander Falls.
