Mitchell Falls Plateau

Well it was a very rough rd in (77 k's). It can take between 1 and 2 hours to walk from the car park to the Falls over different terrain. Creek crossings, boulder climbing and goat tracks through the bush. We decided to take the 6 minute helicopter flight up to the top of the falls at a cost of $145 per person. It was pretty spectacular to see the Plateau from the air and was my first time in a helicopter. Once up at the top we walked around and took photos for a while before eating a packed lunch. I had a dip, then we walked back to the car park taking about 1 hour and 30 mins. The walk back takes you over the top of two more waterfalls called Big Mertens and Little Mertens as well as past some aboriginal rock art.
Then it was the bone shattering drive back to King Edward to collect Phoebe and stay the night.Leer más
