"Beautiful place. Tracking had been a great experience. Honestly as go forward, tracks get more harder to walk . Really good adventure. But as u reach the water fall .,, you forget the hard work done to reach there."
"Nice trails alongside with water streams. Great camping grounds about $7 per night. Astonishing waterfall, with a good workout hike. Mills trail is bit boring. Scenic drive from yara glen. Double check for flood safety. Overall a great area to enjoy hiking and family time."
"Such a beautiful spot. Went there few weeks before Xmas and I thought it would be really busy, not at all. So much space that everybody get there own spots. Some nice hikes starting from the campsite. The river is perfect for a swim after a hot day. Plenty of flushed clean toilets. Would definitely recommend it. Make sure to pay for it. Only 7 dollars per cars... About 1h45 from Melbourne so perfect for a weekend away."
"Nice place, but not much to do. Various camps along the river, we stayed at Water Gauge camp and Bull Creek camp. Water Gauge camp: Pit toilets, and I don't see how one can swim in the river (very rocky and fast flowing), but easy access to do the walk to the Wilhelmina falls. Bull Creek camp: Flush toilets, with a nicer bit of river, but very small place to access the river, so I presume it gets very crowded at peak times. IMO, rangers should patrol more - then they could maybe get rid of the wire fences that makes one feel a bit like you're in a cattle enclosure..."
