The falls are located on Bindaree Road which is subject to seasonal road closures. Closure usually occurs from the Thursday after the June Queens Birthday long weekend up until the Thursday prior to the Melbourne Cup weekend in November. Further information can be obtained from the Department of Sustainability and Environment at www.dse.vic.gov.au/forests and/or Parks Victoria at www.parkweb.vic.gov.au . Please be aware that access to the public is also prohibited on Code Red Fire Danger days, avoid the National and State Parks on these declared days.
Please remain on the formed tracks at all times and carry your rubbish out of the parks.
The walk into the Falls is a short 15min return journey along a formed dirt pathway. The pathway ends with a few steps leading down to a viewing platform behind the falls under a rock overhang. The creek feeding Bindaree Falls is Falls Creek, quite appropriate for this location.
To the cache:
The cache has been placed so that it is readily accessed from the walking path. A spoiler photo has been provided for those who wish to print/save as internet connection is not available at this location, an explicit hint has also been provided. The cache container is waterproof as the environment is quite damp, you may need to head back out in the open to sign the logbook. Please be aware that this is a popular location for visitors so your discretion will ensure the longevity of this cache. Rehide the container well.
Enjoy the location for what it is, a slice of paradise. Happy hunting!
Take care! (From Park Notes - Alpine National Park Valleys and Bluffs - Parks Victoria)
Mountain roads are often unsealed, narrow and winding. Take care as roads may be slippery at any time of the year. Deeper into the park many roads are suitable only for experienced four wheel drivers.
When driving through the park please remember:
- check road and track conditions before setting out on 13 1963
- vehicles, including trail bikes, are restricted to formed roads. Vehicles must be fully registered and drivers licensed.
All visitors, especially walkers, should realise that weather conditions can change rapidly in alpine areas. Snowfalls can be experienced in the alpine area at any time of the year and water can be extremely scarce, so always be prepared with:
- warm clothing
- wind and waterproof jacket
- gloves, hat, sunglasses and strong footwear
- first aid kit and sunscreen
- energy food and water
- compass and relevant topographical map
