Fernhook Falls
Mount Frankland South National Park
Directions - From the centre of Walpole, head west on South Western Hwy until you see the signs for Fernhook Falls. Turn right onto Beardmore Rd (gravel road) and follow this until you reach Fernhook Falls Campground. The trail starts at the visitor info gazebo.
The Hike - Having a pretty fluid day exploring some spots around Walpole thanks to the weather prediction changing my plans, the next stop was a visit to Fernhook Falls. This is a place I've passed a few times heading out to Mount Frankland but never stopped in to have a good look around. With plenty of time to do whatever took my fancy today, I thought I would rectify this and head out to photograph the falls with my new ND filters I purchased before the trip. The drive out is pleasant with the dirt track of Beardmore Rd making you feel like you're out in the middle of nowhere. Arriving at the campground, there were plenty of people here having a look around thanks to the start of the school holidays this weekend.
