Along the way, you'll be captivated by the diverse rainforest ecosystem, including the largest recorded watergum in New South Wales. Keep an eye out for native wildlife and various species of rainforest trees. The walk involves a few creek crossings , which may require you to get your feet wet, especially after rain. The rocks can be slippery, so proceed with caution. The reward is well worth the effort as you arrive at Potoroo Falls, a tranquil oasis perfect for a refreshing dip in the natural pool.
