After three days of constant rain around Hobart, the creeks and rivulets around the foothills of kunanyi / Mt Wellington are full to overflowing. With work limiting daytime exploration, a neighbor and I set out in the evening for one of our most epic walks to date.
Instead of starting from home, we drove to Old Farm Road and headed uphill to Secret Falls. Normally a modest trickle, the creek-bed was uncrossable, limiting shooting positions and we could barely hear each other over the roar of the water being forced through the narrow drop.
Next we went to Myrtle Gully Falls which was ridiculously awesome and a challenge to illuminate with our LED lights with access limited due to all the water.
We backtracked and walked up and along the very wet Middle Island Fire Trail, then took a new mountain bike track that crosses the Hobart Rivulet – where we had to walk across a fallen tree due to flooding and winds it’s way up to the Rivulet Track.
Somehow, egging each other on, we started racing up the very steep Rivulet track towards O’Grady’s Falls.
We headed home via Curtis Avenue, after covering around 8 km. The next day when we picked the car up, we walked back into Secret and Myrtle Gully Falls again for a look.

Thanks Gary, neighbour Evan persisted and dragged me away from a warm fire, we tend to motivate each other at times but definitely worth going out that night. Off again somewhere this evening, who knows where we’ll end up? We don’t!! 🙂
