The McKenzie River
While
most people know of McKenzie Falls, the river both upstream and
downstream of the falls also has a lot to offer. The walking track
down to McKenzie Falls unfortunately (or fortunately depending on
which way you look at it) hides some very interesting falls and
cascades. The first waterfall most people see is the long cascade of
Broken Falls. This is followed by other smaller falls before the
final descent to the base of McKenzie Falls.
Other
waterfalls, such as this part of Drummer Falls, can only be seen by
walking along the river, but this can be difficult because of the
thick vegetation and it would make you not exactly popular with the
rangers.
After McKenzie Falls, the walking track continues to follow the
river to Zumsteins, which is one of the best places to see kangaroos
in the wild.
