Cuckoo Falls Update!
Today...The day of my wife and my anniversary, we decided to walk to cuckoo falls with our 2 kids aged 3 and 5!
The access to the track definitely did not require a 4wd, we drive a 2wd hilux and there were no sections that posed a problem or would pose a problem even for my sports car!
We loved the walk, we are not the fittest people either, it was quite steep in parts and there was a tree fallen down in a particularly steep part of the track blocking access which was a little difficult to pass with 2 young tackers but nevertherless we made it and the sight that greeted us when we finally reached the falls was spectacular!

We spent around 35 mins at the falls having lunch and a few pics and another 15 or so near the finish taking some more pics, we did not set out until 12:30pm and got back at 4:30pm and it was very close to dark at that point, so make that about 3 and a half hours with 2 young kids which is not too bad really.
The road to the track is only around 10 mins from scottsdale and then a further 5 mins or so to the track start.
I would say definitely visit this waterfall if you get the opportunity.
Have fun.....We did. Remember the leech protection but hey they do just drop off when full.....or carry a lighter!
