What people say
Simon Beaton

"Purling Brook Falls circuit is a Grade 3 (moderate) 4km return walk - allow about 2 hours' walking time. Easier to walk the track in a clockwise direction, and if including the Warringa Pool track, which leads downstream from the base of the falls, add another 2km and allow another 40 minutes to return.
Pass through open eucalypt forest of New England ash, where fire-adapted species such as lepidozamias, hakeas and various wildflowers grow, before descending into the gorge to view the falls from below. After crossing the suspension bridge a steady climb through forest brings the walker back to the picnic area. Water flowing over Purling Brook Falls is high quality because its catchment is protected in the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area. Walking in this area is a real privilege.
