Belmore falls – hike to the bottom!

As part of a meetup group, I decided to do a photography event. The event was to go around in the south coast of New South Wales (NSW) and click some amazing pictures. During this event, I also went to the Belmore waterfalls which was an unplanned destination.

Where is Belmore falls?

Belmore falls is in the Morton National Park. The walk provides a spectacular views of the Kangaroo valley and starts off at the Hindmarsh lookout.

Hike to the bottom

The track is a fenced off trail, which means that to start the unmarked trail, we had to jump off the fence. The climb is through the fallen trees and the slippery rocks. Note that few of the sections of the walk do come across confusing.

Logistics

• Starting and finishing point: Hindmarsh lookout.
• Distance: 5 kilometers return.
• Grade: Hard (unmarked path).
• Time taken: Approx. 2 hours.
• There are plenty of free parking car spaces available.

Closing Notes

The waterfalls is definitely worth visiting. Even though the hike to the bottom of the waterfalls is a bit hard, it was totally worth it. I would suggest visiting this waterfalls and also extend the trip to visit the Fitzroy waterfalls.
