Kermandie Falls
Allow three to four hours return for this walk to a scenic waterfall. You can hear the river for almost the duration of the walk, occasionally catching a glimpse as the track nears the river in places. Keep an eye out for lyrebirds and other small birds on the way.
A word of warning: The track is a little indistinct in places so care should be taken if you have no bush-walking experience. There are coloured markers (yellow, pint and read) placed at intervals so watch carefully for these if the track becomes faint.
Good walking boots are essential as there are several very boggy sections and it is wet and slippery on the descent to the falls.
Travel to Geeveston and through the centre of town to the Kermandie River Bridge, turning right into Kermandie River Road, travel two kilomentres to a fork in the road and a sign pointing to the falls on the left fork. This road becomes a little rough towards the end but should be okay with careful driving, when you reach the end of the road at the river there is a small parking area on the left.
The walk starts on a steep track on the left heading dow to the river (a water pipe can been seen on your right), cross here and follow the old logging road until you arrive at a new looging road which cuts through the original track, cross here and head right to the concrete bridge, pick up the old logging track again on the left of the bridge and walk to the end of the road. Look for yellow tapes tied to the trees and pick up a track on the left which heads up hill to the falls.
