Track Notes Turn by turn instructions & maps

Getting started
From the signposted trackhead at the intersection of Amarna Pde and Roseville Ave, the walk passes the 'Little Digger Track' sign and heads down the steps. The walk then follows the bush track downstream along the creek, keeping the creek to the left. After a little while the track fades for about 10 meters then arrives at the top of a waterfall. The track loops around the rocks, and down to a Y intersection just near the bottom of the same waterfall.....
