Definitely a must hike when staying in Byron.nThe waterfall is amazing. We got lucky as it was pouring rain the day before and when we went on this hike the waterfall was in full fall. The splashing of water and sun created double rainbows which were great sight.nnHighly recommend brining swimmers so you can go for a dip. The water isn't deep around 1.5ms so you will be able to stand no problems. Would recommend bringing a bottle of water and some food as it takes 2hrs one way
The full “loop” is not a loop, one end is at Minyon Grass and the other at Minyon Falls lookout (both have parking, picnic table, loo) - to complete the loop, walk via road. Route is not well signposted. Wear proper shoes for rock scramble to get to waterfall swim hole (short way from the river crossing at the bottom of walk down from Minyon Grass) and prepare for everything to get wet & muddy. Well worth the effort - absolutely gorgeous scenery, swim at waterfall base is awesome. Beware leeches; carry salt if you don’t like them.
A strenuous walk through muddy and slippery conditions, but expect to be amazed when you reach the waterfall. Absolutely, spectacular! A few rocks to scale to get to see the final waterfall, but the effort is worth it. Be sure to look out for little arrows to ensure you are maneuvering in the right direction.
Definitely worth the 2.5hrs! It's important to take water and proper shoes. We saw a few people on the track walking in thongs and it would be a struggle as there are a few rock climbing parts and water obstacles. The walk is well covered by trees and on a 30 degree day we felt cool in some parts. The way down is much easier than the way back depending if you go back the same way you come from (which is what we did). We were lucky the previous week had rained plenty so the water falkw as flowing. We chose not to swim because it was a bit busy but worth the walk to hear the water falling and the fresh mist and breeze!! We stayed for about a hour at the waterfall!
Beautiful place was worth the walk and leeches hahaha
