PART FIVE; The decent into somewhere

Yeah sweet I made it down, little did I know there was more of a decent to go.I walked halfway across the train bridge for a better view of the falls- they were quite Amazing,
Right I say; how the F am I going to get down there( It's a sheer drop to the pool from any direction).
I go back to the start of the bridge and carefully make my way down to the base of the falls bellow.
If I fall I'm staying the night

Finally! I'm at the falls!
So of course as I am at least two hours from anyone I proceed to get all my gear off and swim in the fantastic fresh rainforest waterfall.
It was freezing, and well refreshing after that bloody walk let me tell you.
I relaxed for around 20 mins or so to realise I'm going to have to return to town soon.
Damn.

    I live in Australia, and we have awesome rivers to ride down. On a hot day I will get a lilo and drift down some slow rapids for a couple of hours and then get picked up down the river by a mate driving a car. I guess you get this same feeling with hiking? Except I do less work :P

    You should bring a camera and post some pics with your stories! It would definitely help us imagine what was happening.
