Starting from Pinnacle Road, Wellington Park, this return walk takes you to O'Gradys Falls, crossing Sandy Bay Rivulet along the way. Expect a compact but strong waterfall that's cascading down the dark rocks, surrounded by grand trees and heaps of greenery. As you make your way towards this gorgeous waterfall, you'll get views of Organ Pipes as well as a chance to see some rare bird species. Coming in summer means wildflowers of any colour all around you, but wintertime may be a healthier option due to the heat. Dogs are allowed on leash. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
