Can I confirm you can't access Vera and Hippocrene Falls at the moment from the Leura side, for example, because the part of Roberts Pass between Lindeman and the Vera Falls track is shut?

I was keen to do a walk out there at some point but looks like I'll go elsewhere - the options around WF are fairly limited at the moment.

Yes National Parks has banned people from the access routes to Vera falls from either Leura or Wentworth Falls. About the only way to visit them legally now is to somehow walk up Jamison Creek :x

Sorry to dig up an old post - it appears that Wentworth Pass and access to Vera/Hippocrene Falls has now reopened (but National Pass still remains closed between Valley of the Waters and Slacks Stairs), at least from the perspective that the National Parks website has changed its warning - can anyone confirm that who has been up there recently?

That's right, so you can walk Valley of the Waters down past Lahore Falls if you come in from the Conservation Hut. Was there on the weekend.
