This little trip was only a day trip, or even really an afternoon trip. Koorawatha is only about 50km out of Young.
To get to the falls you turn off the main road into a little village. The word that came to my mind in this village was 'hill-billy'. It was all really ramshackle wooden houses. Nothing really looked like it had been taken care of at all, and there were chickens or dogs in nearly every garden.
To get to the waterfall, you go down a dirt road out of the village. Really you need a 4x4. There are places where the bottom just seems to have fallen out of the road. Rather a rough drive.
Now just like the snowfields we went to the previous weekend that had no snow, the water fall had no water. That's what you get when you do these trips just after the summer. The views were impressive though, as was the erosion all around the top of the falls. Lucky it was late enough in the season to go exploring without having to worry about snakes.
I'm told that when the water is actually flowing it's fun to jump off the top, that is if you don't mind a few leeches at the bottom.Well there may not have been water at Koorawatha that weekend, but what it lacked in water, it definitely made up for in wallaby!
