Bottom of Gerringong Falls

Postby paul8 » Tue 28 Nov, 2023 1:45 am

I would like to visit the bottom of Gerringong Falls.

If you have a GPS trace file,
please send it to my email address:
[email protected]

Or let me know where to download the GPS trace file.

Thanks,
Paul

Did you do a google search? There's a ton of very detailed descriptions as I think it is some kind of instagram poseur hotspot. Remember to take your bikini for the all important selfie. Hammock optional, they seem to have faded from fashion :twisted:

Hi Sandym
Agree that "there's a ton of very detailed descriptions".
But no GPS trace file.

I can draw up a route based on the descriptions.
But hey, if someone can send over their GPS trace file,
or if the file can be downloaded from somewhere
that would save me the trouble.

Can't you get there without a GPS trace file? Obviously, the first walkers did that - a very long time ago.
(Mind you, there seems to be a bit of a track all the way, even NPWS signposted.)

Cheers

As others have said there's tons of info available and the route is straightforward. Recommended MTB instead of walking...most of the approach is a pretty mundane firetrail

Of course, I'll be able to get there without a GPS trace file :D
( Just having a lazy bone, and wish to get there with no route finding effort :D )

Absolutely agree, it is a good trail to ride, not walk. The track to get to the bottom of the Falls is no where near as difficult as some authors descrube it to be. You will not need a GPS, just follow the obvious track.

Thanks Hoojar
Well, if there is an obvious track, then marvelous !
The lazy bone here loves no route finding :-)
