The track drops steeply from Lookout Road to Emily Falls on Emily Stream, with a side fork to Rata Stream part way down. It's a long gravel drive off the Inland Scenic Route, so it's quiet. Pin marks the start of the track, not the falls.
Good to know
- Streams can flood and become impassable, so don't cross if they're running high
- Rocks are slippery, supervise children
- Phone coverage is poor
- Open
- All year; best in settled weather
- Getting there
- Turn off SH72 about 9.5 km north of Geraldine onto Peel Forest Road (13 km), then Blandswood Road (2 km); park at the Lookout Road junction
