Not Erskine Falls Warren but you are on the correct side of Melbourne

That's it John. Well done.

Beauchamp Falls is one of the nicest falls in the Otways. Plenty of tourists visit this fall but when I visited it I had it all to myself for about an hour.

Thanks Micky, it looks pretty. I hope to eventually visit that region, and possibly do the GOW.

Next from NSW, what am I climbing at this popular location?

I have done that but this is a long way from Pigeon House Mountain. I'm climbing a series of ladders ("stairs") that make up this link "track" between two other tracks. The immediate surrounds are a very popular destination west of Sydney, particularly for day hikes and waterfalls.

No, but this is on the opposite side of the same narrow valley containing the one you guessed wrong, and links to that track.
In fact I'm heading there in this shot. Could be something a bit loose on these stairs.

No, wrong valley Munch. Head several kms east. The earlier stairway one holds some clues.
This "loose" feature also shares its name with a Greater Brisbane suburb and waterway.

Yes that's it - fairly dry. I don't think I've seen a lot more flow myself as we've only visited in the drier months.
This is from a lookout on a short boardwalk below one of the cable car stations.
