Federal Falls Walk

A return walk in Mount Canobolas State Conservation Area, starting from Federal Falls campground and parking area to Federal Falls. The last few hundred meters to the falls are really steep. Let us begin by acknowledging the Wiradjuri people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
