O'Grady Falls and Featherstone Falls
O'Grady Falls and Featherstone Falls
PUFF-O-METRE
OVERVIEW
While there is only one main track to get to these falls, there are a number of different ways to access this track as it isn't connected directly to a carpark. For this hike, we parked at the start of the Pinnacle Road at a track called Bracken Lane Fire Trail. There is an old wooden sign that signals the start of the O'Grady Falls Track. We walked 500m down this track and took the left fork that we come across. 500m further on, we were faced with a T junction for which we took the left path. This follows a fire trail along for another 400m where we were faced with 4 different paths. The second track from the left is call Betts Vale Track which is the one we took. Following this track had us soon coming across O'Grady Falls.
Once we took in these beautiful falls and captured it from every angle, it was time to make the trek to Featherstone Falls. Crossing the bridge at O'Grady, we took the track up the hill for about 50m. On the bend, there's an entrance to a track that's not often used. If you come across another bridge, then you've gone too far. At this point you can either keep following the main track which goes for a further 1.5km and puts on a lovely display of smaller falls, or you can take the less travelled path which follows the creek to the Featherstone Falls. You'll note that on the hiking map, that's below, we travelled the length of Betts Vale Track. Then, on the return leg, we headed up to enjoy Featherstone Falls.
