This picturesque and well-kept short walk to Nelsons Falls begins not far from Lyell Highway, with both parking and wheelchair access. The trail passes through a dense rainforest of endemics such as sassafras, myrtle and a diverse array of fern species. Before reaching the waterfall, signs along the way embark the reader on a historic journey back to when Australia was united with Gondwana, describing the ancient vegetation and habitat still present today.
