December - April
Summary:
Enclosed mossy alpine stream tumbles down open rocky cascades. Pretty, but not high quality.
Access:
Approach (1 h):
Largely off track navigation. From the Fainters Falls carpark, follow the track and look to walk up the spur on your right hand side, heading SW up to an implied knoll. At the western end of this knoll, turn south and begin your descent into the creek.
Tour (2 h):
The creek is full of moss, logs, and mossy logs. While beautiful and wild, it is slow.
Meander above, under, and around obstacles in the creek until you reach the first abseil with unlinked double rings on the left.
More creek walking and downclimbing and you will reach the finale - Fainter Falls. Best rapped as two pitches, off of a tree anchors part way down on the large ledge. There are many options.
At the base, head out on true right to the walking track.
Return (15 min):
Follow the walking track back to the carpark.

Walk in 45 minutes. 90 minutes in the canyon . 10min back to the car.
The effort here was not really worth the reward. Perhaps it is possible to wander up from the Fainter Falls view point just to rapel the last main drops. The creek is very pretty if youre into ferns and moss though.
