If you decided to walk around the lookouts, come back to Hindmarsh Lookout (there are signs to lead you around, so you should be able to find it!) This is first lookout you’ll come to from the carpark. Facing towards the open valley, you’ll see this amazing view.

Walk back along the sandy, eucalypt path and follow the wire fence (which should be on your left) towards Belmore Falls Lookout. You will find the secret entrance to an old trail leading to the base of Belmore Falls about halfway between these two lookout points.

This section of the track will be on your left, fenced off by the railing. But you will be able to see a worn trail leading towards some rocks.

This is an old track to the bottom of Belmore Falls, however, it is now closed due to risk of injury. It was an actual trail, so fences to do line the way for the start of the trip and there are stone steps in various sections. But it can get slippery during rainfall and wet seasons. And obviously its slippery around the base of the falls. So be cautious and enter at your own risk!

Jump the fence and follow the path towards the rocks. You’ll come to a small clearing where you’ll find a set of stone steps to your left. Follow this path down to the falls!

The track leads down a steep hill to the left but it will eventually veer towards the right (and towards the falls). From this point onwards, the entire trail is fairly direct although you will make some confusing turns on occasion. Don’t worry! The track does always lead back to the falls.

The walk leads through beautiful green vegetation. It’s only about 30 minutes from the top of Hindmarsh Lookout to the bottom of Belmore Falls. You’ll be surrounded by incredible plant life and intermittent views of the falls.

It’s a fairly clear track with a few minor obstacles. A few trees have fallen along the path, so you will be required to climb over or under them. There are also a number of muddy sections and slippery moss, so be careful along the walk.

The bottom of Belmore Falls:

Once at the falls, you’ll be able to explore what Belmore truly has to offer. You can view the falls from afar amongst the rich rainforest. There’s a short walk up and around to a higher viewpoint, but be warned, it is very muddy!

A constant spray of mist projecting from the base of the falls hangs in the air, so the ground and surrounding vines are pretty wet. If you choose to go closer to the falls, you may wish to change into a swimsuit. Use cameras and devices with care!

To come closer to the base of the falls, you can cross a shallow creek over to a section of rocks on the other side. Here, you will have the pleasure of standing under the Belmore Falls, amidst is glory and greatness.

For a unique and memorable experience, strip down and walk closer to the base of the falls. You will not regret the humbling experience of standing so close to the great force of this waterfall giant. If you feel so inclined, you may even wish to plunge into the waterhole.

Be warned: the water is extremely cold and your body will go numb within seconds. But it’s well worth the experience.

Make sure to have brought a towel and warm clothes for your return to dry land. This is true even if you do not go swimming – trust us, you will get wet.

Enjoy the spectacular experience of chasing waterfalls so close to Sydney. Belmore Falls is without a doubt one of the most amazing waterfalls in the state and well worth visiting.

The walk back up to Hindmarsh Lookout is all uphill, so be mindful of your time and pack weight.
