Ironbark Falls - east coast

Postby Thomas » Tue 10 Aug, 2010 8:20 am

Hey all,

I'm heading to St Helens tomorrow for work, does anyone have any info on Ironbark falls that are apparently in that area??

If someone could advise of distance & direction from St Helens & what to expect from the track to the falls, that would be great :)

There's also Ferntree falls, maybe some info for that one too :)

Regards
Clayton

I haven't been to these falls, so this is the best I can do for you

Thanks Taswegian....

After all the rain, i still managed to get thru yesterday to the east coast. Had to go via Elephant pass though. I had a quick look before leaving as to the condition of the road, but after all the bad weather, i didn't venture too far along trafalgar track. I bet the falls would have been very rampant.....

PS If you like falls, check out last weekend's (Rinadeena falls) attached pics....these are from my brother, as my files are too large, as i haven't saved in smaller format yet.

I was wondering the outcome and expected you didn't get there.
But it would have been an awesome site.

The Rinadeena falls are really nice (thanks for posting).
More water than my last visit.
Waterfalls and there environs are really special areas IMO.

Too right it won't....there was a decent amount last week coming down them. You could hear the falls from the road.
